What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Signs you need bath resealing in Wouldham

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Common reasons people in Wouldham contact us are:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps by the taps
  • A messy previous reseal

Before you book anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

Materials we repair

  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Wouldham. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
