Questions from Middleton-in-Teesdale
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Use the extractor fan
- Let steam out after showers
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
