Bath resealing in Royal Tunbridge Wells

Bath resealing at your home in Royal Tunbridge Wells

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and people most frequently call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and old sealant that looks dirty.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Royal Tunbridge Wells. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the whole UK

See our pricing.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

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.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Air the room after use

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

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.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Your questions about bath resealing in Royal Tunbridge Wells

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Signs you need bath resealing in Royal Tunbridge Wells

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Leaks at the edges

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Aftercare advice
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
