Bath resealing at your home in Hartgrove
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are black mould in the sealant and a messy previous reseal.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Let steam out after showers
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hartgrove. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A flexing bath
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Repairs by material
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.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
When to call us in Hartgrove
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Damp near the bath
- Stained silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Sealant that is split or lifting
