Bath resealing in Ospringe, done in place

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We regularly repair baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are old sealant that looks dirty and mould you can’t clean out.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

Signs you need bath resealing in Ospringe

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Questions from Ospringe

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

We cover the entire UK, including Ospringe and the rest of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Are you accredited?

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

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Why it’s worth resealing in Ospringe

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A few things move the price: 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.

What bath resealing costs

We do not charge extra for travel to Ospringe. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ospringe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
