Hopesgate questions

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is my repair covered?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hopesgate. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

How to prepare

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

Get a quote

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Common problems we fix in Hopesgate

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Gaps in the seal
  • An untidy old seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

10 questions to ask before you book

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep the joints dry

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
