Bath Resealing in Lower Hacheston
Our repair technicians come to Lower Hacheston for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps by the taps
- Leaks at the edges
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep the joints dry
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Air the room after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Bath resealing at your home in Lower Hacheston
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. If you are dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and a messy previous reseal, we can usually put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Lower Hacheston, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Lower Hacheston
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Hacheston as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Lower Hacheston, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

Your questions about bath resealing in Lower Hacheston
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Typically after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
How long does resealing take?
Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
