FAQs for Old Moat
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Are there extra charges for Old Moat?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Old Moat.

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no area surcharge for Old Moat. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Old Moat. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
What we are called out for in Old Moat
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Look out for these signs:
- An untidy old seal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Mould you cannot clean out
