Resealing in Greatness: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Bath resealing in Greatness, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include a messy previous reseal and gaps by the taps, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

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

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hidden water damage

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Greatness

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Mould you cannot clean out

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Questions from Greatness

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Are there extra charges for Greatness?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How long before I can shower?

Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Greatness. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
