Bath resealing in Hernhill without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include silicone smeared on tiles and missing sealant behind the taps, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Resealing in Hernhill: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Hernhill: your questions answered
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
