- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit

What affects the price in Cliftonville
There is no charge for travel to Cliftonville. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Cliftonville. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Cliftonville, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Let steam out after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Resealing in Cliftonville: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Cliftonville questions
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Cliftonville. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
