Need bath resealing in Folkestone?

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

Bath resealing at your home in Folkestone

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We’re often asked to fix silicone coming away from the tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant, in shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before you book

Take a look at our full price list.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Related advice

Your questions about bath resealing in Folkestone

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How long before I can shower?

Generally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you are in Folkestone and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
