Bath resealing in Tonbridge

How we handle bath resealing in Tonbridge

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for gaps in the seal and stained silicone, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When to call us in Tonbridge

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Questions from Tonbridge

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

The whole UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
