Bath resealing in Hogben's Hill without replacing anything

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and mould you can’t clean out, we can typically put it right, on basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hogben's Hill as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to around two hours.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Hogben's Hill

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One visit for most repairs

Read our prices page.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units

Hogben's Hill questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Are there extra charges for Hogben's Hill?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

How long does a reseal take?

Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
