How we handle bath resealing in Hastings Old Town
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are sealant that’s split or lifting and black mould in the sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the price in Hastings Old Town
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price

FAQs for Hastings Old Town
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Signs you need bath resealing in Hastings Old Town
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- A messy previous reseal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
