Bath Resealing for Hawkedon homes
Our technicians come to Hawkedon for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Unsealed corners
- A messy previous reseal
What affects the price in Hawkedon
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IP29 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How we handle bath resealing in Hawkedon
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for mould you can’t clean out and leaks at the edges, in wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Questions from Hawkedon
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the curing time from us.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

What else we do in Hawkedon
Resealing in Hawkedon: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why Hawkedon clients choose us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Everything repaired in place
- One price list for the entire UK

What we are called out for in Hawkedon
In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
- Stained silicone
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- Who turns up on the day
- How your room will be protected
- What aftercare is recommended
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after 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.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
