Bath resealing at your home in Boughton Malherbe
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for stained silicone and mould you can’t clean out, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Questions from Boughton Malherbe
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Boughton Malherbe
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When to call us in Boughton Malherbe
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Old sealant that looks dirty
Questions to ask before you book
- How to look after the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled

Prices and what affects them
You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
