How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Bath resealing in Hillmoor without replacing anything

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are black spots in the silicone and old sealant that looks dirty.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath resealing in Hillmoor?

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Unsealed corners

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

FAQs for Hillmoor

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us, normally around a day.

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
