Questions from Rumburgh
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Rumburgh and the rest of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Do you work in Rumburgh?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Rumburgh. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. 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. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
