Common questions in Cilmery
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Cilmery.
How long will it take?
Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
About our bath resealing in Cilmery
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are silicone smeared on tiles and black spots in the silicone.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them
There is no charge for travel to Cilmery. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before booking
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Most jobs done in one visit
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
See our prices page.
Do you need bath resealing in Cilmery?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps by the taps
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
