Hessle: your questions answered
Do you cover the entire of Wakefield?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you work in Hessle?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hessle for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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, then guarantee it for a year.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep the joints dry
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hessle use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
When to call us in Hessle
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Common reasons people in Hessle contact us are:
- A messy previous reseal
- Damp near the bath
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Comparing quotes

- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
