We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths, and the jobs we see most are sealant that’s split or lifting and water getting behind the bath or tray.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Stanton Chare and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Let steam out after showers
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Questions from Stanton Chare
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Landlord and trade work in Stanton Chare
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What affects the price in Stanton Chare
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
