Bath resealing in Hurst without replacing anything
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Common call-outs are for unsealed corners and black spots in the silicone, across baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hurst
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hurst use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Why it’s worth resealing in Hurst
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we are called out for in Hurst
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Mould you can’t clean out
What to look for in a quote

What affects the price in Hurst
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
Most customers in Hurst get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Related advice
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Store bottles on a shelf
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Questions from Hurst
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How long does resealing take?
Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
