Carsphairn questions
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What we’re called out for in Carsphairn
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Leaks at the edges
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- An untidy old seal
Comparing quotes
- How long it needs to cure
- How to care for the finish
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. 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.

What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What affects the price in Carsphairn
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Let steam out after showers
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
