Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone for homes and businesses in Hucking and across Kent. Send pictures for a free, fixed quote.
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- A messy previous reseal
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Let steam out after showers
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
How we handle bath resealing in Hucking
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include silicone smeared on tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray, across kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Questions from Hucking
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Kent.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How long does resealing take?
Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Movement in the bath or tray
