How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Questions from Ruchill

Do you work in Ruchill?

We do. Technicians travel to Ruchill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How long will it take?

Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
