Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

When to call us in Hersden
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps in the seal
- An untidy old seal
- Black mould in the sealant
- Damp near the bath

What bath resealing costs
You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Common questions in Hersden
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you cover Hersden?
We do. We send a technician to Hersden for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Landlord and trade work in Hersden
For anyone letting property in or around Hersden, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep the joints dry
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
