- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What happens on the day

Questions from Pluckley Thorne
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How much does bath resealing cost in Pluckley Thorne?
We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your TN27 postcode.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Signs you need bath resealing in Pluckley Thorne
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- An untidy old seal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps by the taps
Before you book anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep the joints dry
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are 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.
