Bath Resealing in Staplehurst
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Staplehurst, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Leaks at the edges
- Black mould in the sealant
- A messy previous reseal
How we handle bath resealing in Staplehurst
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re frequently asked to fix an untidy old seal and leaks at the edges, in kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry

Common questions in Staplehurst
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.

What affects the price in Staplehurst
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

What else we do in Staplehurst
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Why it’s worth resealing in Staplehurst
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we are called out for in Staplehurst

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
