Common questions in Ramsgate
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How much does bath resealing cost in Ramsgate?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Bath resealing in Ramsgate without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with black spots in the silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can usually put it right.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Let steam out after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When to call us in Ramsgate
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Look out for these signs:
- A messy previous reseal
- Unsealed corners
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Black spots in the silicone

Repairs by material
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ramsgate
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price

Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ramsgate. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
