Bath resealing in Way

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Bath resealing in Way without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include unsealed corners and water getting behind the bath or tray, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it

Take a look at our pricing.

What we cannot put right

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

  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Materials we work on in Way

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

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What we’re called out for in Way

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Stained silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work

Way questions

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How much does bath resealing cost in Way?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

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

Are there extra charges for Way?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

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