How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What affects the price in Basted
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Common problems we fix in Basted
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Gaps in the seal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Missing sealant behind the taps
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- If travel is included in the price

Resealing in Basted: why it matters
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Basted: your questions answered
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you work in Basted?
We do. Technicians travel to Basted from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
