Bath resealing in Teynham

Bath resealing in Teynham, done in place

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about unsealed corners and mould you can’t clean out.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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.

Do you need bath resealing in Teynham?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • A messy previous reseal

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How your room will be protected

Resealing in Teynham: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

  • Nothing taken out or refitted

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  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

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Air the room after use

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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