Bath resealing in Hockley, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about leaks at the edges and black spots in the silicone.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

FAQs for Hockley
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair

What else we do in Hockley
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Let steam out after showers
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hockley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Same prices wherever you are

Landlord and trade work in Hockley
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
If you manage property in Hockley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
