Bath resealing for Penenden Heath homes

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

How we handle bath resealing in Penenden Heath

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s mould you can’t clean out and an untidy old seal, we can usually put it right, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common questions in Penenden Heath

How long before I can shower?

Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

Are there extra charges for Penenden Heath?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What affects the price in Penenden Heath

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Signs you need bath resealing in Penenden Heath

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Stained silicone

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hidden water damage

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
