FAQs for Woodthorpe
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time.
Do you cover the whole of Nottingham?
We work UK-wide, so Woodthorpe is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
How we handle bath resealing in Woodthorpe
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Common call-outs are for mould you can’t clean out and water getting behind the bath or tray, across wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodthorpe
If you manage property in Woodthorpe, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we’re called out for in Woodthorpe
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if they find more damage
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why book with us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Everything repaired in place
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Most jobs done in one visit

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow around two hours.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
