Bath resealing at your home in Old Hawkinge
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are sealant that’s split or lifting and discoloured, yellow sealant.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Landlord and trade work in Old Hawkinge
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

FAQs for Old Hawkinge
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Old Hawkinge included. Travel is included in the price.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are there extra charges for Old Hawkinge?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Open a window after bathing
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A flexing bath

Advice
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. We do not add 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.
Why book with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Work done at your home or business
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We leave the room as we found it
