Frequently asked questions

We normally plan at least 24 hours without water exposure. Longer may be needed depending on the sealant, joint and conditions. A dry skin does not mean the joint is fully cured. We give you advice for your bathroom after the job.

Rates per metre or hour vary widely depending on joint width, substrate, accessibility, preparation and removal of old sealant. De Kitbaas therefore works with a fixed project price after reviewing photos. That way you know upfront what's included in the agreed scope of work.

We match the colour as carefully as possible to tile, grout and surroundings. Light, gloss and material differences can mean a colour does not look exactly the same everywhere.

Yes, if the drain is firmly installed and the joint is suitable. We follow the installation instructions and keep drainage openings clear. A loose drain or a fault in the construction cannot be fixed with a new sealant line alone.

Yes. We choose sealant suited to the stone and assess the surface and previous treatments. Cleaners, primers and finishing agents must also be compatible. This helps reduce the risk of staining along the edge.

You get a 2-year warranty on the workmanship and adhesion of sealant applied by De Kitbaas. When you report an issue, we first assess the cause. If it falls under warranty, we repair the affected sealant work at no charge.

It depends on the flooring system. We only seal where the floor manufacturer allows it, using the specified joint construction. The floor must remain free to move; we do not lock its expansion space in place with sealant.

We respond to your photos as quickly as possible. The installation date depends on location, scope and availability.

It depends on the bath and installation instructions. We agree beforehand whether filling is needed. The bath must be properly supported; extra sealant will not fix a loose or sagging bath.

Yes, if the surfaces, access and weather conditions are suitable. We use suitable glazing sealant along glass and connection sealant between frame and facade. We follow the glazing and frame system and keep required drainage and ventilation clear.

Yes. We follow the worktop manufacturer's instructions and choose sealant to suit the composite, joint and use. Cleaning, any primer and colour are matched to the job too.

A general handyman can carry out sealant work, but a specialist sealant company focuses daily on preparation, material choice, joint profile, colour and finish. That difference often shows in the result.

If the joint and temperature allow it. We follow the stove or cooktop installation instructions and assess the distance from heat. Ventilation openings stay clear.

We use premium sealant suited to the job: sanitary sealant for suitable wet-area joints, a suitable variant for natural stone and paintable sealant where needed. We choose for the surface, movement and use and follow the product instructions.
