Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Air the room after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Everything repaired in place
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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, with the joint fully dried first.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
When to call us in Hawstead Green
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Common reasons people in Hawstead Green contact us are:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Mould you cannot clean out
Before you book anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How your room will be protected
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hawstead Green
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What affects the price in Hawstead Green
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
