Casterton questions
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Casterton. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
How we handle bath resealing in Casterton
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and people most frequently call us about damp near the bath and an untidy old seal.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What else we do in Casterton
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Hidden water damage
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
