How we handle bath resealing in Etchinghill
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you are dealing with stained silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Etchinghill
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.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
How we price bath resealing
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Resealing in Etchinghill: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One price list for the entire UK

When to call us in Etchinghill
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
Before booking anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What preparation is included
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- 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.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Etchinghill questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you come to Etchinghill?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Etchinghill and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
