Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Hartwell, Northamptonshire
We travel to Hartwell for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Stained silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
How we handle bath resealing in Hartwell
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone smeared on tiles.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hartwell as everywhere else we work.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hartwell use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Questions from Hartwell
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you come to Hartwell?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hartwell for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
What we are called out for in Hartwell
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hartwell. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
