How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled 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
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t charge extra for travel to Halfpenny. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Halfpenny: your questions answered
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
How long does a reseal take?
Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Let steam out after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Store bottles on a shelf
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
