Common questions in The Calls
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time.
Bath resealing at your home in The Calls
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include discoloured, yellow sealant and black mould in the sealant, in wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage

What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
Landlord and trade work in The Calls
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Do you need bath resealing in The Calls?
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Leaks at the edges
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again
- If travel is included in the price

Is resealing worth it?
