Bath resealing in Leybourne, done in place
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We’re frequently asked to fix mould you can’t clean out and silicone coming away from the tiles, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Leybourne
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What affects the price in Leybourne
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Leybourne. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Leybourne, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Why reseal now?
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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Leybourne
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Leybourne, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Let steam out after showers
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Questions from Leybourne
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You will get the curing time from us.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
