About our bath resealing in Hyde End
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and missing sealant behind the taps, we can typically put it right.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Signs you need bath resealing in Hyde End
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Gaps in the seal
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Unsealed corners
Before you book anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who turns up on the day
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if they find more damage
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes around two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Air the room after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Questions from Hyde End
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
What areas do you cover?
All of West Berkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Generally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
