Bath resealing in Barming Heath, done in place
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about missing sealant behind the taps and damp near the bath.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

FAQs for Barming Heath
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
How do I book?

When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Are there extra charges for Barming Heath?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you need bath resealing in Barming Heath?
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Stained silicone
- Unsealed corners
- Gaps in the seal

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A flexing bath
- Hollow or loose tiles

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
