Signs you need bath resealing in Hett
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Gaps in the seal
- Black mould in the sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Leaks at the edges

Bath resealing in Hett, done in place
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for mould you can’t clean out and damp near the bath, in wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hett as everywhere else we work.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What bath resealing costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
FAQs for Hett
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours, tidy-up included.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Landlord and trade work in Hett
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hett as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
