How we handle bath resealing in Heyheads
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are leaks at the edges and mould you can’t clean out.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Heyheads. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Heyheads: your questions answered
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
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. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
