Bath resealing at your home in Whitehill
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about black spots in the silicone and silicone smeared on tiles.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Whitehill and across Kent.

How we price bath resealing
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Whitehill, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Resealing in Whitehill: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Whitehill
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Open a window after bathing
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
When to call us in Whitehill
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Damp near the bath
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Sealant that is split or lifting
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
- How to care for the finish

- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
