Postling questions

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How long does resealing take?

Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

How much does bath resealing cost in Postling?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CT21 postcode.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Kent.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

About our bath resealing in Postling

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a messy previous reseal and leaks at the edges.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried 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, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Postling

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Postling, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CT21 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we are called out for in Postling

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Unsealed corners
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched
