Bath resealing in Hurst, done in place

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 baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone coming away from the tiles and silicone smeared on tiles.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hurst and across Wokingham.

Landlord and trade work in Hurst

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common problems we fix in Hurst

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Stained silicone
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • An untidy old seal

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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.

Questions from Hurst

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your RG10 postcode.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you come to Hurst?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Hurst. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
