Common questions in Hillbutts
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How much does bath resealing cost in Hillbutts?
We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Generally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Keep the joints dry
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take around two hours, including clearing up.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hillbutts
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hillbutts as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Do you need bath resealing in Hillbutts?
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
