Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Bath resealing at your home in Lower Vagg
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are damp near the bath and stained silicone.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Lower Vagg
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Questions from Lower Vagg
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours, tidy-up included.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
