Bath Resealing in Bean
Bath resealing in and around Bean: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- An untidy old seal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
How we handle bath resealing in Bean
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for missing sealant behind the taps and silicone smeared on tiles, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Bean: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Do you work in Bean?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Bean and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A flexing bath
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Advice
What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- The material, if you know it
If you are in Bean and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bean as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When to call us in Bean
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Look out for any of the following:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Unsealed corners
- A messy previous reseal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
