What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath resealing in Hillsdale, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths, and people most often call us about an untidy old seal and sealant that’s split or lifting.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we are called out for in Hillsdale

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours, including clearing up.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Common questions in Hillsdale

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Do you work in Hillsdale?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Hillsdale. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
