About our bath resealing in Chilham
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you’re dealing with leaks at the edges and black spots in the silicone, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What bath resealing costs
You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Any details about the material
If you are in Chilham and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Hidden water damage
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Chilham
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chilham
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.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
When to call us in Chilham
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Stained silicone
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- A messy previous reseal
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How to care for the finish
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How long it needs to cure
