About our bath resealing in Kennett
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, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are black mould in the sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Kennett as everywhere else we work.

What else we do in Kennett
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
Why it’s worth resealing in Kennett
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Kennett
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone smeared on tiles

Common questions in Kennett
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Are there extra charges for Kennett?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You will get the curing time from us, typically around a day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Landlord and trade work in Kennett
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
