Common questions in Southill
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Bath resealing at your home in Southill
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s damp near the bath and mould you can’t clean out, we can usually put it right, on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
What affects the price in Southill
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What else we do in Southill
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Southill use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Open a window after bathing
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hidden water damage
