Bath resealing in Horndon on the Hill without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and mould you can’t clean out.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Horndon on the Hill and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- 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
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Common questions in Horndon on the Hill
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Horndon on the Hill. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A flexing bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
