Bath resealing for Peasmarsh homes

Bath resealing in Peasmarsh, done in place

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We regularly repair wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about gaps by the taps and mould you can’t clean out.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Peasmarsh questions

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you come to Peasmarsh?

We do. We send a technician to Peasmarsh for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Peasmarsh. Prices do not change with location.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How long does a reseal take?

Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Read our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Peasmarsh use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Air the room after use

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
