FAQs for St Stephens
Why does mould come back so fast?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, St Stephens included. There is no extra charge for travel.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint 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, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Most customers in St Stephens get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Why reseal now?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Signs you need bath resealing in St Stephens
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Leaks at the edges
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- A messy previous reseal
- Black mould in the sealant
Comparing quotes
- How your room will be protected
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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 generally cheaper.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
