Bath Resealing in Hinckley
Local bath resealing for Hinckley: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- A messy previous reseal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Unsealed corners
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Bath resealing at your home in Hinckley
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for leaks at the edges and a messy previous reseal, in shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What affects the price in Hinckley
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A flexing bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Common problems we fix in Hinckley
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Gaps by the taps
Comparing quotes
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take around two hours, including clearing up.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- 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
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Hinckley
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hinckley: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Hinckley is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
