Bath resealing in Hicks Forstal without replacing anything
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and damp near the bath, we can help, whatever the material.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Your questions about bath resealing in Hicks Forstal
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Hicks Forstal?
We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your CT3 postcode.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hidden water damage
- Hollow or loose tiles
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Open a window after bathing
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
Common problems we fix in Hicks Forstal
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black mould in the sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps in the seal
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What prep work is covered
- How the colour is matched
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
How we price bath resealing
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Resealing in Hicks Forstal: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why book with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Everything repaired in place
- Most jobs done in one visit
- A year’s guarantee on all work

- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
Get a quote
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
