Bath resealing for Smallbridge homes

What we’re called out for in Smallbridge

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Unsealed corners
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Questions to ask before booking

  • How to care for the finish
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What preparation is included
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

Bath resealing in Smallbridge without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are discoloured, yellow sealant and sealant that’s split or lifting.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Questions from Smallbridge

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Smallbridge. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

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

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Smallbridge

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why Smallbridge clients choose us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
