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.

"Frank and Steve were able to come out the next day and clear a blockage on my shower and install a new mixer shower valve for me. They took time to diagnose the problem and even came out on a Sunday which I very much appreciated. Very well priced and excellent value for money. Will definitely use them again for any plumbing needs in the future."
