How we price bath resealing

There is no charge for travel to Wincheap. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How we handle bath resealing in Wincheap

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. We are frequently asked to fix silicone coming away from the tiles and a messy previous reseal, across kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

  • No need to remove anything
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our prices page.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

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

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

Wincheap questions

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you come to Wincheap?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Wincheap for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wincheap

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
