Bath resealing at your home in Ivy Hatch
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are discoloured, yellow sealant and gaps in the seal.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ivy Hatch as everywhere else we work.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep the joints dry
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

DIY kit or professional repair?
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What affects the price in Ivy Hatch
We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price

FAQs for Ivy Hatch
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Do you come to Ivy Hatch?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ivy Hatch and the rest of Kent. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Resealing in Ivy Hatch: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
