About our bath resealing in Hopgrove
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Your questions about bath resealing in Hopgrove
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you come to Hopgrove?
We do. We send a technician to Hopgrove for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Why reseal now?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why Hopgrove clients choose us
- One price list for the whole UK
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We leave the room as we found it
- Nothing taken out or refitted
See our prices page.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Dry the seal after bathing
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
When to call us in Hopgrove
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- An untidy old seal
- Damp near the bath

What affects the price in Hopgrove
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
