Bath Resealing for Hacton homes
Bath resealing across Hacton and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- A messy previous reseal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
How we handle bath resealing in Hacton
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. If you’re dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can typically put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Hacton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A flexing bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Hacton questions
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What areas do you cover?
All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access

What bath resealing costs
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What we’re called out for in Hacton
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Clients usually contact us about:
- A messy previous reseal
- Unsealed corners
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
Comparing quotes
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- When it can be used again
