How we handle bath resealing in Hinxton
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Prices and what affects them
There’s no charge for travel to Hinxton. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Hinxton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes around two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price

Advice
Signs you need bath resealing in Hinxton
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Damp near the bath
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Before booking anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who turns up on the day
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep the joints dry
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Why it’s worth resealing in Hinxton
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
