- Hollow or loose tiles
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Movement in the bath or tray

Materials we work on in Butt Lane
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Air the room after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

What affects the price in Butt Lane
There is no charge for travel to Butt Lane. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

FAQs for Butt Lane
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Staffordshire.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you work in Butt Lane?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Butt Lane. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
