Bath resealing at your home in Hextable
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and damp near the bath.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Resealing in Hextable: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Questions from Hextable
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Hidden water damage
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Open a window after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
When to call us in Hextable
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Common reasons people in Hextable contact us include:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Damp near the bath
- Unsealed corners
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Before booking anyone
- How to care for the finish
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BR8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Hextable
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hextable as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
