Bath resealing in Northwood without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We are often asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and gaps in the seal, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Your questions about bath resealing in Northwood

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

Everywhere in the UK, Northwood included. Travel is included in the price.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

When to call us in Northwood

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • A messy previous reseal

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
