Bath Resealing for Platt homes
Local bath resealing for Platt: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Gaps in the seal
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Bath resealing in Platt without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, 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 damp near the bath, across shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most customers in Platt get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job.

What else we do in Platt
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Your questions about bath resealing in Platt
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
