Your questions about bath resealing in Palmarsh

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

Everywhere in the UK, Palmarsh included. Travel is included in the price.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Do you need bath resealing in Palmarsh?

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Unsealed corners
  • Gaps in the seal

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Palmarsh

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
