Northfleet: your questions answered
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Bath resealing in Northfleet without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for missing sealant behind the taps and black mould in the sealant, in shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Do you need bath resealing in Northfleet?
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Damp near the bath
- Black spots in the silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
Before booking anyone

- When it can be used again
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep the joints dry
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Northfleet. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Northfleet. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
