Questions from Guarlford
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Do you work in Guarlford?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Guarlford for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Prices and what affects them
There is no area surcharge for Guarlford. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your WR13 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Guarlford
For anyone letting property in or around Guarlford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Herefordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we are called out for in Guarlford
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Gaps by the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps in the seal
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to care for the finish
- If travel is included in the price
