Bath resealing in Riseden without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s damp near the bath and stained silicone, we can normally put it right, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Riseden as everywhere else we work.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Let steam out after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Riseden: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you come to Riseden?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Riseden and the rest of Kent. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Why reseal now?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
If you are in Riseden and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What affects the price in Riseden
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
