Bath Resealing for Hilgay homes
Our technicians come to Hilgay for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone smeared on tiles
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Bath resealing in Hilgay, done in place
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We are often asked to fix discoloured, yellow sealant and mould you can’t clean out, across baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Hilgay questions
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you cover the entire of Norfolk?
The entire UK, including all of Norfolk. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Hilgay. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
