Questions from Lidsing
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Medway, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
How long does a reseal take?
Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Bath resealing in Lidsing without replacing anything
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, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and people most frequently call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and mould you can’t clean out.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- 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.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
- Keep the joints dry
- Give the seal a regular clean
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
What affects the price in Lidsing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, 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.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
