Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Hourston, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps in the seal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps by the taps
How we handle bath resealing in Hourston
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and old sealant that looks dirty.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a couple of hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Hourston questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we’re called out for in Hourston
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Stained silicone
- Unsealed corners
Questions to ask before booking
- What prep work is covered
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What protection goes down before work starts
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units

What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
