Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Bath resealing at your home in Ickham
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are damp near the bath and an untidy old seal.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Ickham questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CT3 postcode.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Generally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Air the room after use
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What bath resealing costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
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.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CT3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
