Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and unsealed corners, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Upper End: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
