What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Movement in the bath or tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Lower Shiplake

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why Lower Shiplake customers choose us

Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price

When to call us in Lower Shiplake
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Gaps in the seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Before booking anyone
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Air the room after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
