Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you are in Knebworth and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Knebworth: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you come to Knebworth?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Knebworth. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You will get the curing time from us.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Resealing in Knebworth: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Air the room after use
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
