Bath resealing for Red Hill homes

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Open a window after bathing

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

What affects the price in Red Hill

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Red Hill

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

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day

Red Hill: your questions answered

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Red Hill is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Do you cover Red Hill?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Red Hill and the rest of Kent. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Kent.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
