Questions from Ambaston
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep the joints dry
- Open a window after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Common problems we fix in Ambaston
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Gaps in the seal
- An untidy old seal

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
