Bath resealing in Lyminge, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and black spots in the silicone, we can usually put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Lyminge and across Kent.

FAQs for Lyminge
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you come to Lyminge?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Lyminge and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep the joints dry
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

How we price bath resealing
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lyminge. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Signs you need bath resealing in Lyminge
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Look out for these signs:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps in the seal
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected

The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
