Hillington questions
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Are there extra charges for Hillington?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You will get the curing time from us.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep the joints dry
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Hillington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Resealing in Hillington: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

You don’t 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.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Do you need bath resealing in Hillington?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Common reasons people in Hillington contact us are:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Damp near the bath
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps in the seal
