All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We are frequently asked to fix silicone coming away from the tiles and black spots in the silicone, across shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Sutton Weaver questions
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Sutton Weaver.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
