About our bath resealing in Herne Common
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are discoloured, yellow sealant and gaps in the seal.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Keep the joints dry
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
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. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Landlord and trade work in Herne Common
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- 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.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What affects the price in Herne Common
We charge the same across the UK, including Herne Common. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
