Bath resealing for Whetsted homes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whetsted

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whetsted use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we handle bath resealing in Whetsted

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are leaks at the edges and old sealant that looks dirty.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Whetsted and across Kent.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  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

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Different materials, different repairs

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops
