Common problems we fix in Satmar

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Choosing a repair company

Bath resealing in Satmar without replacing anything

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and black mould in the sealant, we can help.

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

Resealing in Satmar: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why Satmar clients choose us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Take a look at our full price list.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

The process

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

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

FAQs for Satmar

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Satmar. Prices don’t change with location.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can landlords book you?

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

Repairs by material

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, so the joint is at its widest.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A flexing bath

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

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
