Bath Resealing in Dargate
We travel to Dargate for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.

- Missing sealant behind the taps
Bath resealing at your home in Dargate
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. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are water getting behind the bath or tray and gaps in the seal.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Dargate and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Why it’s worth resealing in Dargate
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- One price list for the entire UK

- Work done at your home or business

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What we’re called out for in Dargate
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Gaps by the taps
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Leaks at the edges
- Old sealant that looks dirty
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How long it needs to cure
- How the room is protected while they work
Questions from Dargate
How long does silicone take to cure?
Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
How long does a reseal take?
Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Do you come to Dargate?
We do. We send a technician to Dargate for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
What affects the price in Dargate
We don’t charge extra for travel to Dargate. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
