Bath resealing in Larkfield without replacing anything
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and mould you can’t clean out, across shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

FAQs for Larkfield
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Larkfield?
We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your ME20 postcode.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
Most clients in Larkfield get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Do you need bath resealing in Larkfield?
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Unsealed corners
Questions to ask before you book
- When it can be used again
- What preparation is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who will actually do the work
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Why reseal now?
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 repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in Larkfield
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Larkfield, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
