DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Questions from Layston
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you cover the entire of Hertfordshire?
All of Hertfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Are there extra charges for Layston?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Common problems we fix in Layston
Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Damp near the bath
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Dry the seal after bathing
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
About our accreditations · Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.
