Landlord and trade work in Blackfell
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blackfell as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
How we handle bath resealing in Blackfell
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for silicone coming away from the tiles and black spots in the silicone, in shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common problems we fix in Blackfell
In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- An untidy old seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
What to look for in a quote

- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Movement in the bath or tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
Blackfell: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you come to Blackfell?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Blackfell. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
