Common questions in Buxton
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Resealing in Buxton: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- We leave the room as we found it
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
Read our prices page.
Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Buxton. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Buxton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Buxton, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Let steam out after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
Common problems we fix in Buxton
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Look out for these signs:
- Leaks at the edges
- An untidy old seal
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Unsealed corners

- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
