Bath resealing in Wateringbury

How to look after the repair

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

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

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

Bath resealing in Wateringbury without replacing anything

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and leaks at the edges, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Wateringbury as everywhere else we work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hidden water damage

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Wateringbury: your questions answered

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Are you accredited?

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

How long will it take?

Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Do you need bath resealing in Wateringbury?

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • A messy previous reseal

What affects the price in Wateringbury

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Why it’s worth resealing in Wateringbury

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
