How we handle bath resealing in Hareplain
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are old sealant that looks dirty and black spots in the silicone.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Store bottles on a shelf
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Why reseal now?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Missing sealant behind the taps

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Hareplain, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What happens on the day

- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
