Hillway: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You’ll get the curing time from us, normally around a day.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
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.
Are there extra charges for Hillway?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Bath resealing in Hillway without replacing anything
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. If you are dealing with black mould in the sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Resealing in Hillway: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What affects the price in Hillway
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we are called out for in Hillway
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Unsealed corners
- Damp near the bath
- Black spots in the silicone
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
Before booking anyone
- How to look after the finish
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- What protection goes down before work starts
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Air the room after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Use 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, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
