Bath resealing at your home in Burlings

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. If you’re dealing with black mould in the sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Burlings: your questions answered

How long does a reseal take?

Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths

Do you need bath resealing in Burlings?

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Unsealed corners
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our prices page.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
