What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Questions from Wemyss Bay

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Usually because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Wemyss Bay

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
