Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, 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.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
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 we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Common questions in Hunger Hill
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed 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, and the work is guaranteed.
How we price bath resealing
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Hunger Hill, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
