What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Bath resealing at your home in Pootings
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you are dealing with gaps by the taps and silicone smeared on tiles, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

Do you need bath resealing in Pootings?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Common reasons people in Pootings contact us include:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Leaks at the edges
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Questions from Pootings
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We’ll give you the curing time, generally around a day.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Do you cover Pootings?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Pootings and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

How we price bath resealing
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
