How we handle bath resealing in West Wickham

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Do you need bath resealing in West Wickham?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How to care for the finish
  • What preparation is included

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

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

Questions from West Wickham

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in West Wickham?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  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. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
