Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
What happens on the day
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 generally takes around two hours. 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.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Common questions in Hackthorn
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Common problems we fix in Hackthorn
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
- How to care for the finish
- What prep work is covered
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Let steam out after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What bath resealing costs
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job.
