How we handle bath resealing in Hurn
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and gaps in the seal.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Let steam out after showers
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the area is dry

What bath resealing costs

Hurn: your questions answered
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
