What we’re called out for in Standen
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Leaks at the edges
- Black mould in the sealant
Before booking anyone
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair

Different materials, different repairs

Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Resealing in Standen: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Other services in Standen
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
