How we handle bath resealing in Gillingham

Every job is backed for twelve months in Gillingham and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Hidden water damage
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Gillingham
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Let steam out after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
When to call us in Gillingham
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- An untidy old seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps in the seal

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Your questions about bath resealing in Gillingham
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
