Bath resealing at your home in West Hanningfield
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for an untidy old seal and silicone coming away from the tiles, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we are called out for in West Hanningfield
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gaps in the seal
- Stained silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black spots in the silicone
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who turns up on the day
- How long it needs to cure
- How to care for the finish
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use the extractor fan
- Let steam out after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Give the seal a regular clean
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Your questions about bath resealing in West Hanningfield
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How long does a reseal take?
Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Landlord and trade work in West Hanningfield
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for West Hanningfield. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CM2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
