Landlords, agents and businesses in Canterbury
If you manage property in Canterbury, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How we handle bath resealing in Canterbury
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about mould you can’t clean out and discoloured, yellow sealant.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Canterbury as everywhere else we work.

Here we cover the CT1, CT2, CT4 and CT3 postcode area. Streets in the area include Long Market, High Street and High Street St Gregorys. Canterbury sits on or near the A2 and A28, so getting to you is simple. Nearby, we also work in Wincheap (1 mile south-west), Harbledown (1 mile west), Hales Place (1 mile north), Thanington (1 mile south-west) and Stuppington (1 mile south).

As one of the bigger places in Kent, Canterbury is somewhere we visit often.

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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 often lifts.
What affects the price in Canterbury
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Canterbury. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Why it’s worth resealing in Canterbury
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work in Canterbury?
We do. We send a technician to Canterbury for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Canterbury?
We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you need bath resealing in Canterbury?
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

- Gaps in the seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
