Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How we price bath resealing
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Questions from West Malling
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Landlords, agents and businesses in West Malling

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A flexing bath
