Bathroom resealing in Rudgwick

About our bathroom resealing in Rudgwick

Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. If you have a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and leaks into the floor or ceiling below, we can help, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths alike.

Somewhere as small as Rudgwick, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

The process

Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, and the area is left clean. Somewhere as small as Rudgwick, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

  1. Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
  2. We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
  3. We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
  4. Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
  5. We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
  • Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
  • Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice

When it isn’t the sealant

Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:

  • Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
  • A tray or bath that is cracked through

If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we seal

  • Kitchen worktops & upstands
  • Sinks & splashbacks
  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units

What affects the quote in Rudgwick

The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:

  • Whether there’s mould to deal with
  • Working hours on commercial sites
  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
  • How easy the joints are to reach

Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

What to tell us for a quote

What to tell us when you ask for a quote:

  • What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
  • Whether it has been sealed before
  • Where the property is
  • How we’d reach the joints

It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Should I try it myself first?

A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Landlord and commercial work in Rudgwick

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

Surface by surface

Basins & vanity units

A vanity top has a joint along the wall and sometimes at the sides. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.

Sinks & splashbacks

Splashbacks in glass, tile or acrylic meet the worktop in a long joint. We renew it in clear, white or a matched colour.

Do you cover smaller places like Rudgwick?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Which products do you use?

Generally after around 24 hours. You’ll get the exact cure time before we leave.

Can I do it myself?

That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.

When to call us in Rudgwick

Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
  • New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
  • Smears of silicone across the tiles
  • A bead that has pulled away from the tiles

Rented homes near Christs Hospital station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

What to look for in a quote

  • Which colour the sealant will be
  • Whether they seal over old material or remove it
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long the guarantee is

What bathroom resealing looks like in Rudgwick

There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Rudgwick. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

In the older streets around Holy Trinity Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Schools such as Rudgwick Primary School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
