Bath resealing near Snodland

How we handle bath resealing in Snodland

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s sealant that’s split or lifting and leaks at the edges, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Snodland and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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 typically cheaper.

Common questions in Snodland

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Can new silicone go over old?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Open a window after bathing

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

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

What affects the price in Snodland

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Snodland, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

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

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price
