Bath resealing for Hilton homes

Hilton questions

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

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 before the end of a tenancy.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Hilton. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Bath resealing at your home in Hilton

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with damp near the bath and unsealed corners, we can usually put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Stockton-on-Tees and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

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

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

When to call us in Hilton

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone
