  • Unsealed corners
  • An untidy old seal

Our hiring checklist

Bath resealing in Hothfield without replacing anything

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are damp near the bath and black mould in the sealant.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

Landlord and trade work in Hothfield

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep the joints dry

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Questions from Hothfield

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Hothfield.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What bath resealing costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Hothfield. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
