FAQs for Chartham Hatch
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Generally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
About our bath resealing in Chartham Hatch
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for leaks at the edges and an untidy old seal, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Chartham Hatch and across Kent.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Common problems we fix in Chartham Hatch
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Gaps in the seal

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, 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.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
What affects the price in Chartham Hatch
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses
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.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Air the room after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A flexing bath
