Hoggard's Green: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Is the work guaranteed?
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?
We will give you the curing time, normally around a day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
