Bath resealing at your home in Hillborough
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about gaps by the taps and gaps in the seal.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep the joints dry
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Store bottles on a shelf
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Hillborough, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Do you need bath resealing in Hillborough?
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
Common reasons people in Hillborough contact us include:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Leaks at the edges
- Stained silicone
- Gaps in the seal

Hillborough: your questions answered
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Hillborough and the rest of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
