The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, 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 a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Bath resealing in Harpford, done in place
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Typical jobs include silicone coming away from the tiles and missing sealant behind the taps, across basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What affects the price in Harpford
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most customers in Harpford get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Harpford: your questions answered
How long before I can shower?
Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
