Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Bath resealing in Herne, done in place
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about missing sealant behind the taps and black spots in the silicone.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Questions from Herne
How long does silicone take to cure?
You’ll get the curing time from us, usually around a day.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Common problems we fix in Herne
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A messy previous reseal
- Damp near the bath
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A flexing bath
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Air the room after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What bath resealing costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
