What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Let steam out after showers
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
West Clifton: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so West Clifton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- Black mould in the sealant
- Damp near the bath
