Bath resealing in Hawkinge without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with gaps by the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hawkinge use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Why it’s worth resealing in Hawkinge
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What else we do in Hawkinge
Hawkinge: your questions answered
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do you cover Hawkinge?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Hawkinge from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What affects the price in Hawkinge
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
