About our bath resealing in Hillhouse
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s mould you can’t clean out and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common questions in Hillhouse
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in South Lanarkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
