  • Unsealed corners
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Landlords, agents and businesses in Potto

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If you manage property in Potto, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Resealing in Potto: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Potto clients choose us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

FAQs for Potto

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Do you cover Potto?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Potto from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Shower trays & enclosures

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DL6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
