Bath resealing at your home in Shorne
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We’re often asked to fix water getting behind the bath or tray and stained silicone, across wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Shorne and across Kent.

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can

Landlord and trade work in Shorne
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shorne use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Shorne: your questions answered
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Are there extra charges for Shorne?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Resealing in Shorne: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
