Bath resealing in Hartford without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and damp near the bath, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a couple of hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hidden water damage

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths

When to call us in Hartford

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • A messy previous reseal

Comparing quotes

  • When it can be used again
  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before booking

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Use the extractor fan

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Hartford questions

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you cover the entire of Cambridgeshire?

The entire UK, including all of Cambridgeshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
