Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

Bath resealing at your home in Upper Harbledown

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and damp near the bath.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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 normally the cheaper route.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Signs you need bath resealing in Upper Harbledown

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Common reasons people in Upper Harbledown contact us are:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Leaks at the edges
  • An untidy old seal
  • Mould you cannot clean out
