Bath resealing for Sandhurst Cross homes

Bath resealing in Sandhurst Cross, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s stained silicone and damp near the bath, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath

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

Materials we repair

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

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Common problems we fix in Sandhurst Cross

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Common reasons people in Sandhurst Cross contact us include:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Landlord and trade work in Sandhurst Cross

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  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
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
