How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Hoy questions
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your KW16 postcode.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- The material
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Do you need bath resealing in Hoy?
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- An untidy old seal
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Leaks at the edges
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again
- What happens if they find more damage
- Aftercare advice
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
