How we handle bath resealing in Hawthorn
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for old sealant that looks dirty and silicone smeared on tiles, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A flexing bath

Common questions in Hawthorn
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you cover the entire of Kent?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Resealing in Hawthorn: why it matters
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. 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. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Everything repaired in place

What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
Most customers in Hawthorn get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
