Common problems we fix in Higherford

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before you book

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Most jobs done in one visit

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Higherford: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What areas do you cover?

All of Lancashire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

How it 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 about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
