Bath resealing in Hunsonby without replacing anything
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. If you are dealing with black spots in the silicone and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Hunsonby: your questions answered
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What else we do in Hunsonby
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When to call us in Hunsonby
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Before booking anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Prices and what affects them
You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hunsonby. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Let steam out after showers
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Dry the seal after bathing
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Resealing in Hunsonby: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
