Bath Resealing for Maidstone homes
Bath resealing across Maidstone and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Gaps in the seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Hidden water damage
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Your questions about bath resealing in Maidstone
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you need bath resealing in Maidstone?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Leaks at the edges
Before booking anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- If travel is included in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Landlords, agents and businesses in Maidstone
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
