How we handle bath resealing in Haster
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you are dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and leaks at the edges, we can normally put it right, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Questions from Haster
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Are there extra charges for Haster?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry
