Trusted bath resealing in Old Romney

Bath resealing in Old Romney without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about silicone coming away from the tiles and old sealant that looks dirty.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Related advice

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What bath resealing costs

We don’t charge extra for travel to Old Romney. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

There’s 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 reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What we’re called out for in Old Romney

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps in the seal

Questions from Old Romney

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Old Romney?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
