Landlord and trade work in Kempe's Corner
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Let steam out after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Other services in Kempe's Corner
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 pictures.
Common questions in Kempe's Corner
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do you work in Kempe's Corner?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Kempe's Corner. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What affects the price in Kempe's Corner
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TN25 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
Common problems we fix in Kempe's Corner
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Comparing quotes
- How long it needs to cure
- What prep work is covered
- How the room is protected while they work
- How to look after the finish
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Hidden water damage
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
