How we handle bath resealing in Mereworth
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include gaps in the seal and missing sealant behind the taps, across baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.
How we price bath resealing
We charge the same across the UK, including Mereworth. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Mereworth questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How long does resealing take?
Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Do you work in Mereworth?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Mereworth and the rest of Kent. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How much does bath resealing cost in Mereworth?
We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your ME18 postcode.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
