DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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 are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Kempston Church End
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Kempston Church End questions
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
What we are called out for in Kempston Church End
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An untidy old seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps by the taps
Before booking anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Air the room after use
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
