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 did a great job. He was professional and polite. The work was done quickly at a good price. I would highly recommend his services."

"A neat and tidy plumber who clearly knows his trade — Frank was a breath of fresh air. He came to look at a water leak that an emergency service engineer couldn't locate and, having found it, ended up staying for several hours to stop it. Everything he needed to remove or use during the process proved challenging. However, his endless patience won through. He also came back to install a stop cock valve in a cupboard so that I can easily reach it. His work is very neat, and he clearly knows his trade. Would definitely recommend."
