Istead Rise questions
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Advice
Do you need bath resealing in Istead Rise?
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps by the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- Stained silicone
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who turns up on the day
- How to care for the finish
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Give the seal a regular clean
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A flexing bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
