Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We are frequently asked to fix an untidy old seal and mould you can’t clean out, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

10 questions to ask before booking

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Hatford

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Hatford questions

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How much does bath resealing cost in Hatford?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you work in Hatford?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Hatford and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
