Bath resealing at your home in Elmstone Hardwicke
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s silicone smeared on tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Elmstone Hardwicke and across Gloucestershire.

Why it’s worth resealing in Elmstone Hardwicke
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Elmstone Hardwicke. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Read our pricing.
Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Elmstone Hardwicke, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Elmstone Hardwicke questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Dry the seal after bathing
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A flexing bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
