How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a couple of hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What affects the price in Great Totham
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Access to the area
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What else we do in Great Totham
Great Totham: your questions answered
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We will give you the curing time, generally around a day.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Great Totham. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
