Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

What affects the price in Over Hulton
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Landlord and trade work in Over Hulton
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep the joints dry
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
