Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What else we do in Sole Street
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Air the room after use
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- 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.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

FAQs for Sole Street
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
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.
