Landlord and trade work in Hook End

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Hook End questions

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you come to Hook End?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Hook End. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

How much does bath resealing cost in Hook End?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Common problems we fix in Hook End

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

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Unsealed corners
  • An untidy old seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black spots in the silicone

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
