Bath resealing in How Green, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and stained silicone, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Advice

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why How Green customers choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything

Your questions about bath resealing in How Green

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

How much does bath resealing cost in How Green?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

We cover the entire UK, including How Green and the rest of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in How Green

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice
  • What preparation is included

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Let steam out after showers

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
