How we handle bath resealing in Hillhouse
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths, and common reasons people contact us are silicone smeared on tiles and sealant that’s split or lifting.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, 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 clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What bath resealing costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Air the room after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Hillhouse: your questions answered
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Hillhouse.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you cover Hillhouse?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Hillhouse. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hillhouse use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Do you need bath resealing in Hillhouse?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Look out for any of the following:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Unsealed corners
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Black mould in the sealant
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
