- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Mould you can’t clean out
- An untidy old seal
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep the joints dry
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, 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, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
About our bath resealing in Hayes
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and people most often call us about gaps by the taps and damp near the bath.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What else we do in Hayes
Why it’s worth resealing in Hayes
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Hayes. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What we’re called out for in Hayes
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps in the seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
