  • A messy previous reseal

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

How we price bath resealing

There’s no area surcharge for South Weald. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CM14 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

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

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints

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

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
