Bath resealing near Trottiscliffe

Bath resealing at your home in Trottiscliffe

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for discoloured, yellow sealant and black spots in the silicone, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Baths

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

When to call us in Trottiscliffe

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

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Trottiscliffe

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Trottiscliffe as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, 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.

Your questions about bath resealing in Trottiscliffe

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

Are there extra charges for Trottiscliffe?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Trottiscliffe is covered. Prices do not change with location.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you come to Trottiscliffe?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Trottiscliffe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
