What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Your questions about bath resealing in Potter's Forstal

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Potter's Forstal. Prices do not change with location.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will it make a mess?

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

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Common problems we fix in Potter's Forstal

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black spots in the silicone

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
