Bath resealing across Hyde farm estate and nearby, generally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Damp near the bath
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Bath resealing in Hyde farm estate without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlord and trade work in Hyde farm estate
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hyde farm estate as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hyde farm estate: your questions answered
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We’ll give you the curing time.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Prices and what affects them
There is no area surcharge for Hyde farm estate. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote

- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SW12 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Air the room after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
