Bath resealing in Penshurst, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Our technicians work on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are damp near the bath and stained silicone.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Penshurst and across Kent.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap 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

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

How we price bath resealing

There is no area surcharge for Penshurst. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Common questions in Penshurst

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

Everywhere in the UK, Penshurst included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Do you cover Penshurst?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Penshurst and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Air the room after use
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Penshurst as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Penshurst, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
