Bath resealing at your home in Gravesend
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you are dealing with black mould in the sealant and leaks at the edges, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why it’s worth resealing in Gravesend
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Signs you need bath resealing in Gravesend
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who will actually do the work
- Aftercare advice
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Keep the joints dry
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Do I need to be at home?

What do you need from me?

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How long does a reseal take?
Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes around two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- 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

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Movement in the bath or tray
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
