Resealing in Lenham Heath: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
When to call us in Lenham Heath
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.
Your questions about bath resealing in Lenham Heath
Why does mould come back so fast?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Kent.
