Common questions in Silsoe
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Silicone smeared on tiles
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who turns up on the day

- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Resealing in Silsoe: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One visit for most repairs
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Open a window after bathing
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Dry the seal after bathing
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
What affects the price in Silsoe
There is no charge for travel to Silsoe. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most customers in Silsoe get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
