Bath resealing in Hellingly without replacing anything
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s sealant that’s split or lifting and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Common problems we fix in Hellingly
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Unsealed corners
- Gaps in the seal
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use the extractor fan
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Hellingly: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Why it’s worth resealing in Hellingly
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
