Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Hinxworth, Hertfordshire
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Hinxworth. Send pictures for a free, fixed quote.
- Leaks at the edges
- Stained silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Dry the seal after bathing
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Bath resealing at your home in Hinxworth
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and a messy previous reseal, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hinxworth as everywhere else we work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hinxworth
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim

Your questions about bath resealing in Hinxworth
How long before I can shower?
Generally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SG7 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Why it’s worth resealing in Hinxworth
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hinxworth. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- No need to remove anything
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
See our prices page.
Common problems we fix in Hinxworth
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Unsealed corners
- An untidy old seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
