How we handle bath resealing in Hayden
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about gaps in the seal and stained silicone.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A flexing bath
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Use the extractor fan
- Air the room after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Prices and what affects them
There’s no charge for travel to Hayden. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
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 will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
FAQs for Hayden
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
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, so the joint is at its widest.
Common problems we fix in Hayden
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Black mould in the sealant
- A messy previous reseal
- Unsealed corners
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
