DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
FAQs for Pontshill Marsh
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You’ll get the curing time from us, usually around a day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

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.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Keep bottles off the joints
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Pontshill Marsh
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What a repair cannot fix
