Landlord and trade work in Hildersham
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hildersham use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Bath resealing at your home in Hildersham
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for sealant that’s split or lifting and damp near the bath, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Signs you need bath resealing in Hildersham
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps in the seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can

Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hildersham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Let steam out after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Questions from Hildersham
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Hildersham?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
