Bath resealing near Farningham

Bath resealing in Farningham, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about black spots in the silicone and gaps by the taps.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about bath resealing in Farningham

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

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.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Let steam out after showers

Use 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 shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
