West Cliffe questions

Do you work in West Cliffe?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to West Cliffe. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long will it take?

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

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

The entire UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Bath resealing in West Cliffe without replacing anything

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you’re dealing with an untidy old seal and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can usually put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

What we are called out for in West Cliffe

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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

Resealing in West Cliffe: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
