Bath resealing in Shepway

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Bath resealing in Shepway, done in place

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are black spots in the silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes around two hours. The room is left tidy.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

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

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shepway: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Shepway is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Shepway. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place

See our pricing.

What bath resealing costs

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
