Bath Resealing in Farthingloe
Our technicians come to Farthingloe for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Gaps by the taps
- An untidy old seal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Give the seal a regular clean
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
How we handle bath resealing in Farthingloe
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and people most often call us about mould you can’t clean out and an untidy old seal.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When to call us in Farthingloe
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Sealant that is split or lifting
Comparing quotes
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Farthingloe: your questions answered
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
