Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Stone Cross: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
