Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Your questions about bath resealing in Hoton

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hoton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Common problems we fix in Hoton

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Unsealed corners

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
