About our bath resealing in Upper Ifield

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and black spots in the silicone, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What we cannot put right

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

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

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

Materials we work on in Upper Ifield

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DA12 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Common questions in Upper Ifield

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

Everywhere in the UK, Upper Ifield included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re 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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What we are called out for in Upper Ifield

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Look out for these signs:

  • Damp near the bath
  • An untidy old seal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Unsealed corners

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

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

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Work done at your home or business
