Common questions in Ickleford
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Are there extra charges for Ickleford?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We will give you the curing time, generally around a day.
Do you cover the whole of Hertfordshire?
All of Hertfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Air the room after use
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Resealing in Ickleford: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath resealing in Ickleford
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Missing sealant behind the taps

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlord and trade work in Ickleford
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A flexing bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
