How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Open spaces near Hartle include Walton Hill and Chaddesley Woods National Nature Reserve.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Air the room after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Hartle: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Hartle. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What bath resealing costs
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Hartle. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
