Bath Resealing in East Malling
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in East Malling, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps in the seal
- A messy previous reseal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
About our bath resealing in East Malling
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. Typical jobs include mould you can’t clean out and water getting behind the bath or tray, in shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

East Malling: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the curing time from us.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What affects the price in East Malling
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for East Malling. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Let steam out after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Do you need bath resealing in East Malling?
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- A messy previous reseal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- How to look after the finish
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if they find more damage
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
