Questions from Hepworth
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Bath resealing in Hepworth, done in place
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We work on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are missing sealant behind the taps and leaks at the edges.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

What affects the price in Hepworth
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hepworth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When to call us in Hepworth
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black mould in the sealant
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
