Trusted bath resealing in Otham

What affects the price in Otham

We do not charge extra for travel to Otham. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Bath resealing in Otham without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include black mould in the sealant and damp near the bath, in shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Otham questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Do you come to Otham?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Otham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take around two hours, including clearing up.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Resealing in Otham: why it matters

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Otham customers choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Take a look at our full price list.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Air the room after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Common problems we fix in Otham

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

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Unsealed corners
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How your room will be protected
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
