How we handle bath resealing in Hook

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about damp near the bath and a messy previous reseal.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Swindon.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

FAQs for Hook

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Typically after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Air the room after use

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What bath resealing costs

We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When to call us in Hook

Sealant does not 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.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Stained silicone
  • Black spots in the silicone

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
