Questions from Hilton

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How long does a reseal take?

Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Are there extra charges for Hilton?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you come to Hilton?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Hilton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Bath resealing at your home in Hilton

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Our technicians work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are an untidy old seal and silicone coming away from the tiles.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

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 typically cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What bath resealing costs

We don’t charge extra for travel to Hilton. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Why it’s worth resealing in Hilton

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
