Bath resealing in Plaxtol without replacing anything

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about gaps by the taps and black spots in the silicone.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Plaxtol questions

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Do you need bath resealing in Plaxtol?

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Stained silicone
  • Damp near the bath
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before booking

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Plaxtol, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
