Bath resealing near Teynham Street

Common questions in Teynham Street

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Usually because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do you work in Teynham Street?

We do. We send a technician to Teynham Street for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How we handle bath resealing in Teynham Street

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and gaps by the taps, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

How we price bath resealing

We do not charge extra for travel to Teynham Street. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ME9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Teynham Street

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Unsealed corners
  • Black spots in the silicone

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended
