Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price

Questions from Glencaple
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Do you work in Glencaple?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Glencaple from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Air the room after use
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What we’re called out for in Glencaple
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Gaps by the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black spots in the silicone

Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlord and trade work in Glencaple
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Glencaple use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.
