Common questions in Pentonville
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Pentonville is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Generally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you cover Pentonville?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Pentonville for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How we handle bath resealing in Pentonville
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are damp near the bath and black spots in the silicone.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Keep the joints dry
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. 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.

When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pentonville use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes around two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
