What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Most jobs done in one visit

Signs you need bath resealing in Hillside
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Damp near the bath
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the price covers travel
Can I fix it myself?
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 normally the cheaper route.
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.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep the joints dry
- Use the extractor fan
- Open a window after bathing
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Hillside: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Hillside?
We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hidden water damage
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
