Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Hidden water damage
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Baths
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

FAQs for Sotterley
Are there extra charges for Sotterley?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Open a window after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When to call us in Sotterley
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Look out for these signs:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Unsealed corners
- An untidy old seal
