How we handle bath resealing in Spinney Hills
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include stained silicone and gaps by the taps, in wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Spinney Hills and across Leicester.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Spinney Hills, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
