FAQs for Hele
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you cover Hele?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Hele from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Bath resealing at your home in Hele
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We’re often asked to fix gaps in the seal and gaps by the taps, across baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What bath resealing costs
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EX23 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For anyone letting property in or around Hele, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Air the room after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
