Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

How we handle bath resealing in Petteridge

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. If you are dealing with black mould in the sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can normally put it right.

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.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

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

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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 usually the cheaper route.

Petteridge questions

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you need bath resealing in Petteridge?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths
