Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Birling, Kent
Fixed-price bath resealing in Birling and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
Bath resealing in Birling without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about damp near the bath and a messy previous reseal.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Landlord and trade work in Birling
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What bath resealing costs
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
What areas do you cover?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
