Bath resealing in North Street

Prices and what affects them

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Bath resealing at your home in North Street

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and gaps by the taps.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

What we are called out for in North Street

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Common reasons people in North Street contact us include:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One visit for most repairs

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Medway and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

North Street questions

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How much does bath resealing cost in North Street?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your ME3 postcode.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Do you come to North Street?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to North Street. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
