Bath resealing in Strood

Bath resealing in Strood without replacing anything

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Common call-outs are for stained silicone and a messy previous reseal, on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Strood and across Kent.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Your questions about bath resealing in Strood

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

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

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Resealing in Strood: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Strood. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our pricing.

What we’re called out for in Strood

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Damp near the bath
  • Black mould in the sealant

Before booking anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep the joints dry
  • 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.
