When to call us in Plaistow
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Leaks at the edges
- A messy previous reseal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Air the room after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Advice
Prices and what affects them
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are 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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
