Hessay questions
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Bath resealing at your home in Hessay
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include gaps by the taps and black spots in the silicone, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Prices and what affects them
There is no charge for travel to Hessay. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use the extractor fan
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Air the room after use
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Landlord and trade work in Hessay
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it 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.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
