Bath resealing in Hengrave without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for discoloured, yellow sealant and leaks at the edges, across shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Your questions about bath resealing in Hengrave
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Typically after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Prices and what affects them
We do not charge extra for travel to Hengrave. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Why it’s worth resealing in Hengrave
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Hengrave. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why Hengrave clients choose us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One price list for the whole UK
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- No need to remove anything

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep the joints dry
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
