Why it’s worth resealing in Cooling Street
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. 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.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Work done at your home or business
- One visit for most repairs

Bath resealing in Cooling Street without replacing anything
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We are often asked to fix black spots in the silicone and damp near the bath, across baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Medway.

Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Common problems we fix in Cooling Street
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Damp near the bath
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps by the taps

Your questions about bath resealing in Cooling Street
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do you cover the entire of Medway?
Everywhere in the UK, Cooling Street included. Travel is included in the price.
Are there extra charges for Cooling Street?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the curing time from us.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- 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.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
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.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Landlord and trade work in Cooling Street
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

How we price bath resealing
We do not charge extra for travel to Cooling Street. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
