Bath resealing in Northfleet Green without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and mould you can’t clean out, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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 photos.

How we price bath resealing
There’s no charge for travel to Northfleet Green. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you’re in Northfleet Green and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Your questions about bath resealing in Northfleet Green
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Advice
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
