About our bath resealing in Stick Hill
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and unsealed corners, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Landlord and trade work in Stick Hill
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stick Hill use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them
We do not charge extra for travel to Stick Hill. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Access to the area
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Stick Hill questions
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Stick Hill?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are there extra charges for Stick Hill?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What areas do you cover?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You’ll get the curing time from us, typically around a day.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep bottles off the joints
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Why it’s worth resealing in Stick Hill
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
