- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Mould you can’t clean out
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Medway and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How we handle bath resealing in Rochester
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you’re dealing with black spots in the silicone and a messy previous reseal, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.
Resealing in Rochester: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Rochester. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- No need to remove anything
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Rochester: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Rochester?
Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your ME2 postcode.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you work in Rochester?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Rochester for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Rochester, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms

- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.

- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
