Bath resealing for Hilton homes

Bath resealing in Hilton, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you are dealing with black spots in the silicone and leaks at the edges, we can usually put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Read our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Let steam out after showers

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

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

When to call us in Hilton

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Damp near the bath

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hilton

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hilton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Hilton questions

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you cover Hilton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Hilton. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
