Need bath resealing in Staple?

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

Bath resealing at your home in Staple

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and old sealant that looks dirty.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Staple and across Kent.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

If you manage property in Staple, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most clients in Staple get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Air the room after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours, including clearing up.

  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. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
