Can you just go over the old silicone?

No — the proper repair is to remove failed silicone first. New sealant will not last if it is applied over loose or contaminated old material.

Do you offer colour-matched silicone?

Yes — where the bathroom suits it, we can use a closer colour match instead of a stark white bead, especially on vertical tile corners.

Can failed silicone really cause a leak downstairs?

Yes — once the tray or bath edge opens up, regular shower use can let water escape behind the seal and into floors, walls or ceilings below.

"shower refit — Frank identified the problem with our shower extremely quickly and recommended a couple of options, from repairing the parts through to a shower refit. We went for a refit and the new one works great, and looks brilliant. Highly recommend FFT"

"Average experience. They did the job but could improve on communication."

Alex Johnson2 months ago

"Extremely helpful — Frank was so helpful to us. He came out the same day to sort a leaking toilet. He made a temporary fix until he was able to source a part which he will return and fit asap. We would definitely use him again."
