Bath resealing in Godmersham without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with black mould in the sealant and gaps by the taps, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
What bath resealing costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Godmersham. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CT4 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Godmersham questions
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you come to Godmersham?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Godmersham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
What a repair can’t fix

- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Hidden water damage
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What else we do in Godmersham
Do you need bath resealing in Godmersham?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Common reasons people in Godmersham contact us include:
- Gaps by the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Leaks at the edges
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
