Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units alike.

What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A flexing bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours, including clearing up.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Prices and what affects them
There’s no area surcharge for Teston. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Teston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Work for landlords and builders
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.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Common problems we fix in Teston
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- An untidy old seal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- What aftercare is recommended
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Why it’s worth resealing in Teston
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
