Bath resealing at your home in Borden
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and black spots in the silicone.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
How we price bath resealing
There is no charge for travel to Borden. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Borden, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Open a window after bathing
- Dry the seal after bathing
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- 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, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Borden: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you come to Borden?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Borden and the rest of Kent. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What we are called out for in Borden
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps by the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if they find more damage
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Why us?
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- A fixed quote before you book
- Everything repaired in place

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
