Filby questions
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Do you cover the whole of Norfolk?
We cover the entire UK, including Filby and the rest of Norfolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
About our bath resealing in Filby
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. If you are dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and mould you can’t clean out, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Let steam out after showers
- Don’t 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. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

What we’re called out for in Filby
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Leaks at the edges

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Filby
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Filby as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

What affects the price in Filby
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NR29 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
