- Black mould in the sealant

- Silicone smeared on tiles
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Your questions about bath resealing in Lower Hartlip
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How much does bath resealing cost in Lower Hartlip?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Let steam out after showers
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Resealing in Lower Hartlip: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- One price list for the whole UK
- A fixed quote before booking
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What else we do in Lower Hartlip
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
