What your bath or shower is made of matters
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.
About our bath resealing in Hempsted
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We are often asked to fix black mould in the sealant and unsealed corners, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Prices and what affects them
There is no charge for travel to Hempsted. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Hempsted: your questions answered
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You will get the curing time from us.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you need bath resealing in Hempsted?
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps in the seal
Before booking anyone
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- When it can be used again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Open a window after bathing
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
