Bath resealing for Well Head homes

Bath resealing in Well Head without replacing anything

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about black mould in the sealant and silicone smeared on tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Well Head use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Well Head: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

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

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

When can you do it?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Signs you need bath resealing in Well Head

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps in the seal
  • A messy previous reseal

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What aftercare is recommended
