How we handle bath resealing in Little Bromley
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and unsealed corners, we can normally put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

FAQs for Little Bromley
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use the extractor fan
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Let steam out after showers

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
