How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A flexing bath
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
What affects the price in Hardwick
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths

Questions from Hardwick
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Do you come to Hardwick?
We do. We send a technician to Hardwick for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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 typically cheaper.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
