Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Common call-outs are for discoloured, yellow sealant and gaps in the seal, in shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
When to call us in Downton
Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
Common reasons people in Downton contact us include:
- A messy previous reseal

- 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.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive

Advice
Downton questions
Do you cover the entire of Wiltshire?
The whole UK, including all of Wiltshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you come to Downton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Downton and the rest of Wiltshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
