About our bath resealing in Hackenthorpe
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include leaks at the edges and a messy previous reseal, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Why it’s worth resealing in Hackenthorpe
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

- Every repair guaranteed for a year

How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Open a window after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What we’re called out for in Hackenthorpe
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Gaps by the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Leaks at the edges
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- What prep work is covered
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms

Landlord and trade work in Hackenthorpe
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
Common questions in Hackenthorpe
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Hackenthorpe?
Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
