Bath resealing at your home in Sandgate
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that’s split or lifting and silicone smeared on tiles.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Sandgate and across Kent.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
When to call us in Sandgate
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps by the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- Old sealant that looks dirty
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What aftercare is recommended
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if they find more damage
What bath resealing costs
There is no area surcharge for Sandgate. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A flexing bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Questions from Sandgate
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Resealing in Sandgate: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- No need to remove anything
- Work done at your home or business
- Generally one visit, start to finish
Read our prices page.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Use the extractor fan
- Dry the seal after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
