About our bath resealing in Hunston
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include silicone smeared on tiles and stained silicone, in baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Your questions about bath resealing in Hunston
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Let steam out after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Do you need bath resealing in Hunston?
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- An untidy old seal

Repairs by material
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.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
