Bath Resealing for Harman's Cross homes
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Harman's Cross, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Damp near the bath
- Unsealed corners
- A messy previous reseal
How we handle bath resealing in Harman's Cross
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are an untidy old seal and old sealant that looks dirty.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Open a window after bathing
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Harman's Cross. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
For a price in Harman's Cross, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

FAQs for Harman's Cross
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Harman's Cross.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Harman's Cross is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You’ll get the curing time from us, usually around a day.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What else we do in Harman's Cross
Common problems we fix in Harman's Cross
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Leaks at the edges
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Gaps by the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How to care for the finish
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
