Bath resealing at your home in Tilmanstone
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you are dealing with black mould in the sealant and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

- Unsealed corners

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Common questions in Tilmanstone
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How long does a reseal take?
Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
