Wainscott questions

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We will give you the curing time.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover Wainscott?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Wainscott for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What affects the price in Wainscott

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your ME2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Resealing in Wainscott: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Read our full price list.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wainscott

For anyone letting property in or around Wainscott, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Medway and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When to call us in Wainscott

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
