Bath Resealing for Hipley homes
We travel to Hipley for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Stained silicone
- An untidy old seal
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Open a window after bathing
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Common problems we fix in Hipley
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Hidden water damage

Hipley: your questions answered
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you cover Hipley?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Hipley from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?
The whole UK, including all of Hampshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
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.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Hipley?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What bath resealing costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hipley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Why it’s worth resealing in Hipley
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
