Common questions in Woodcote
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Hidden water damage
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodcote
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What else we do in Woodcote
Resealing in Woodcote: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Most jobs done in one visit
Take a look at our full price list.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available

- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
