What else we do in Kidmore End
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Keep the joints dry
- Air the room after use
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Kidmore End: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Do you need bath resealing in Kidmore End?
In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
