Bath resealing at your home in Hacheston
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about leaks at the edges and old sealant that looks dirty.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

FAQs for Hacheston
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep the joints dry
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. 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 there are no surprises on the day.

Landlord and trade work in Hacheston
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
When to call us in Hacheston
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- A messy previous reseal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
What bath resealing costs
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- The material
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
