About our bath resealing in Hints
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. Typical jobs include gaps in the seal and water getting behind the bath or tray, in basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes around two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Why it’s worth resealing in Hints
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
