How we handle bath resealing in Dover
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and unsealed corners, we can normally put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Air the room after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Common problems we fix in Dover
In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if they find more damage
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Why it’s worth resealing in Dover
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price

Questions from Dover
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Dover.
How long before I can shower?
Generally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Dover?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are there extra charges for Dover?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dover as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
