FAQs for Hillhead

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Air the room after use

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures

Choosing a repair company

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
