Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Bath resealing in Hallthwaites, done in place
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops. Most jobs take a couple of hours. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and water getting behind the bath or tray.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, tidy-up included.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Common problems we fix in Hallthwaites
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Look out for these signs:
- Damp near the bath
- Unsealed corners
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair

What affects the price in Hallthwaites
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Questions from Hallthwaites
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Do you come to Hallthwaites?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Hallthwaites from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
