Questions from Hermitage
Do you work in Hermitage?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hermitage for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Bath resealing in Hermitage without replacing anything
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We’re frequently asked to fix gaps by the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Why it’s worth resealing in Hermitage
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hermitage. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- One visit for most repairs
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your RG18 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Do you need bath resealing in Hermitage?
In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Gaps in the seal
- Unsealed corners
- A messy previous reseal
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who turns up on the day
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hermitage use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
