Bath Resealing in Hastoe
Our technicians come to Hastoe for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps in the seal
- Leaks at the edges
How we handle bath resealing in Hastoe
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and black mould in the sealant, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

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. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A flexing bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim

Materials we work on in Hastoe
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Hastoe: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You will get the curing time from us.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Landlord and trade work in Hastoe
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Open a window after bathing
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Common problems we fix in Hastoe
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black mould in the sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
- What prep work is covered
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
