Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s damp near the bath and an untidy old seal, we can help, on baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Hartley and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Hartley
We don’t charge extra for travel to Hartley. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price

Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Questions from Hartley
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Generally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Hartley?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Signs you need bath resealing in Hartley
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Gaps by the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
