Honest limits

- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Bath resealing in Hackleton without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We are frequently asked to fix an untidy old seal and leaks at the edges, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hackleton and across Northamptonshire.

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- 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 run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry

Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Air the room after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 normally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Your questions about bath resealing in Hackleton
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the curing time from us, typically around a day.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
