How we handle bath resealing in Rotherfield

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you are dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and black mould in the sealant, we can normally put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Rotherfield

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

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Unsealed corners
  • A messy previous reseal

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TN6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Rotherfield

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time, usually around a day.

How much does bath resealing cost in Rotherfield?

We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How soon can you come?

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

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
