Bath Resealing in Hillswick
Our technicians come to Hillswick for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Gaps by the taps

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Hidden water damage
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
About our bath resealing in Hillswick
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and a messy previous reseal.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hillswick as everywhere else we work.

What we’re called out for in Hillswick
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black spots in the silicone
- An untidy old seal
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended

Resealing in Hillswick: why it matters
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Don’t 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.

Hillswick: your questions answered
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
