About our bath resealing in Hunsdonbury
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We regularly repair wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about mould you can’t clean out and sealant that’s split or lifting.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

FAQs for Hunsdonbury
Do you work in Hunsdonbury?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Hunsdonbury from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Hunsdonbury?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Common problems we fix in Hunsdonbury
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps in the seal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Stained silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
