Bath resealing at your home in Ide Hill
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are sealant that’s split or lifting and silicone smeared on tiles.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Prices and what affects them
We don’t charge extra for travel to Ide Hill. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ide Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You do not 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.

Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- 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.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Related advice
Ide Hill: your questions answered
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You will get the curing time from us.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Ide Hill?
We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Why it’s worth resealing in Ide Hill
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
