Common problems we fix in Gustard Wood
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Black spots in the silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Stained silicone

Other services in Gustard Wood
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hidden water damage

Gustard Wood questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Gustard Wood is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
What affects the price in Gustard Wood
There is no area surcharge for Gustard Wood. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gustard Wood. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- 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, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
