Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hamble-le-Rice. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Bath resealing in Hamble-le-Rice, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with leaks at the edges and a messy previous reseal, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Open a window after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hamble-le-Rice as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, tidy-up included.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Prices and what affects them
You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you need bath resealing in Hamble-le-Rice?

- Stained silicone
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Gaps by the taps
