Bath resealing in Badlesmere without replacing anything
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you’re dealing with black mould in the sealant and gaps in the seal, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths

Common problems we fix in Badlesmere
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Gaps by the taps
- A messy previous reseal
- Sealant that is split or lifting
Before you book anyone
- How the colour is matched
- If travel is included in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who turns up on the day
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice
Badlesmere: your questions answered
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Do you cover Badlesmere?
We do. Technicians travel to Badlesmere from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Air the room after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Use the extractor fan
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
