Bath Resealing in Hartest Hill
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Hartest Hill, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
How we handle bath resealing in Hartest Hill
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and black mould in the sealant, across baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Common questions in Hartest Hill
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How much does bath resealing cost in Hartest Hill?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How long does resealing take?
Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Common problems we fix in Hartest Hill
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Gaps in the seal
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps by the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How soon you can use it again
- How the room is protected while they work
