How we handle bath resealing in Hadstock
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone coming away from the tiles and mould you can’t clean out.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Open a window after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Questions from Hadstock
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
