Signs you need bath resealing in Gillingham
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Leaks at the edges
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- How the room is protected while they work
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- No extra charge for your area
- One visit for most repairs

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Landlord and trade work in Gillingham
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common questions in Gillingham
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
