How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Landlord and trade work in Willisham Tye
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 work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Willisham Tye as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Willisham Tye questions
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
What affects the price in Willisham Tye
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. 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 price.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
