Bath resealing at your home in Hopwood
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and common reasons people contact us are a messy previous reseal and old sealant that looks dirty.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What affects the price in Hopwood
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a couple of hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can

Hopwood questions
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
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. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
What else we do in Hopwood
When to call us in Hopwood
In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- Gaps in the seal
- Damp near the bath
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black mould in the sealant
Before booking anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price covers travel
Resealing in Hopwood: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
