Resealing in Hunters Forstal: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hunters Forstal
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Hunters Forstal questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are there extra charges for Hunters Forstal?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Hunters Forstal. Prices don’t change with location.
How we price bath resealing
There’s no area surcharge for Hunters Forstal. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There is 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.
