FAQs for Selmeston

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Will the price change on the day?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

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

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Selmeston included. There is no extra charge for travel.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Selmeston

For anyone letting property in or around Selmeston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Signs you need bath resealing in Selmeston

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Stained silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Before you book anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Why it’s worth resealing in Selmeston

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
