Bath resealing at your home in Hunwick
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about missing sealant behind the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

FAQs for Hunwick
How long does a reseal take?
Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Use the extractor fan
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
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.
How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you’re in Hunwick and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
