- A messy previous reseal

How we handle bath resealing in Hemingstone
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone smeared on tiles, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What we are called out for in Hemingstone
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- A messy previous reseal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Unsealed corners
What to look for in a quote

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Hemingstone

Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep the joints dry
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Hemingstone questions
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.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
