Common questions in Hoe
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How long does a reseal take?
Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How we handle bath resealing in Hoe
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Whether it’s damp near the bath and black mould in the sealant, we can help.
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.

Resealing in Hoe: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Most jobs done in one visit
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Air the room after use
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Landlord and trade work in Hoe
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
How we price bath resealing
There’s no charge for travel to Hoe. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
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 will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most clients in Hoe get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Common problems we fix in Hoe
Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
- A messy previous reseal
- Unsealed corners
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
- How your room will be protected
- What prep work is covered
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes around two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PL1 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
