The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled 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
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Air the room after use
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
When to call us in Blackthorn
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Unsealed corners
- Black spots in the silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if they find more damage
- If travel is included in the price
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blackthorn use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
