Supplied & fitted Fixed Pricing:
Our fully qualified and trained technician aims to deliver a high quality professional sealed finish that looks neat and will be watertight, and this requires experience and skill.
In addition we only use the best quality silil one sealants that contain “Microban”, “Mould Shield”, or “SteriTouch” anti microbial properties for extra long life; these are more expensive than cheap alternatives that other mastic man sealant companys may use.
We aim to give the best possible value, with a prompt and reliable service, so you can be confident that booking with us will give you a total peace of mind.

Preparation and Post Resealing:

* Our prices include the removal of the old silicone
* Verticals:
This price does not include “tile to tile” vertical uprights, these are charged at £9.75 per upright up to 2mtrs in length (sculpted or relief style tiles, and/or smaller than non standard sized tiles £11.75 per upright) for sealant removal & replacement. Also, “tile to metal” vertical uprights are charged at £12.50 per upright up to 2mtrs in length (sculpted or relief style tiles, and/or smaller than non standard sized tiles** £14.75 per upright).
* Standard Installation Labour is based upon an installation that has been correctly installed, and does not have a beading style trim/strip between the tiles and tray/bath and a gap no larger than 6mm between the tiles (or wet wall or similar finish) and tray/bath. Grout between the tiles and tray/bath may require to be removed and if this is case then the installation would be deemed “non standard”.
Sub standard or non Standard Installations that have been adapted to take account of uneven walls, and floors can result in extra time being required, as well as requiring additional silicone sealant. Also, where silicone or an incorrect sealant material has been applied by an amateur (i.e sealant all over the tiles and fittings, or the wrong type of sealant which can be difficult to remove) can take considerably more time to remove and prepare the job. These types of jobs will incur an additional hourly rate of £37.50 for every hour, or part hour taken.
* Standard Tiles:
Minimum size must be no less than 15 cms square and the surface must be glazed and with a smooth flat polished shiny finish over the entire tile – tiles with bevelled edges are classed as “Non Standard” . “Non Standard Tiles” are tiles with a natural stone effect, mosaics or uneven surfaces, or any tiles not as per the “Standard Tiles” description. These take longer to prepare and apply silicone, and incur an additional charge of 50% of the standard charges). Uneven tiles will most likely result in an uneven finish due to the nature of the tiles – this is unavoidable and an uneven finish is considered normal.
* Beading Style Trim and/or relief style tiles borders, or tiles smaller than 15cms square or 6″ square (but not including mosaics see below), will incur additional charges due to the extra work required in preparation; these charges are an additional 50% each of the standard charge.
*Mosaic Tiles:
Please add 50% to the standard charge due to the extra work and time involved in cleaning each individual tile.
* Kitchen Worktops:
Prices may vary if there are mosaic sized tiles, or where a gap exists between the worktop, tiles and wall, that requires to be packed before sealing. In this instance the charge will be £95 for the first hour, subsequent hours at £35 per hour, plus materials.
Dark Coloured Tiles & Coloured sealants (other than white or clear will incur higher material charges). Dark coloured sealants when required to be applied to light coloured tiles with white grout will incur up to a 50% additional charge (similarly white sealant against a dark background). The reason for the additional charges is that it requires a lot more time to apply, in order to obtain a good finish.

General Purpose Silicone Sealant
- Bonds to most surfaces in construction and glazing
- Mid-modulus silicone
- Contains a fungicide to prevent mould growth
AS900 Acoustic Sealant
- Suitable for interior sealing around dry wall partitioning to reduce noise
- Can also be used for sealing interior skirting boards and fixing plasterboard to reduce vibration
Multi-Purpose Silicone
- Ideal for sealing joints and window frames in humid areas around the home
- Remains permanently flexible
- 20 Year life
PU18 Polyurethane Adhesive and Sealant
- Exterior use sealant ideal for construction, automotive and marine applications
- Produces tough, elastic seals with excellent adhesion
Roofing and Gutter sealants
- Roofing and gutter sealants are highly flexible, completely waterproof and can be used, as the name suggests, for sealing leaks in gutters and flat roofs. The surface must be absolutely free from dust to get the best possible seal.
Glazing Sealants
- Cures gently and with great flexibility to allow for expansion and contraction between glass and frame these sealants usually contain fungicide and are suitable for sealing glass to PVCu, wood, aluminium and polycarbonate frames.
Flooring Sealants
- Flooring sealants are designed with great flexibility in many colours to fill expansion joints in, especially, laminate floors. Especially important here to practice before using as a messy joint on the floor stands out like a sore thumb.
Silicone Sealants (General purpose)
- Silicone sealants are not water based so they do not need to dry to go hard, they go hard through a chemical process occurring as a reaction with air. This process is called curing. Silicone sealants are waterproof, can be used outdoors for a variety of waterproofing jobs and come in many colours including clear.
Frame Sealants
- These sealants are designed to seal between window and door frames and the surface they are fixed to. They usually have greater (up to 30%) flexibility than normal sealants and are UV fade resistant. A dust free surface is a necessity here as absolute adhesion must be obtained between frame and wall for a watertight joint.
Intumescent Sealants
- Intumescent or fire stop sealants are for maintaining the integrity of a wall or partition in the event of a fire. Ideally used to seal attic walls between semi detached or terraced houses and to seal frames in fire risk areas.
Water based general purpose sealants and decorators caulk
- The above rate does not include over painting the bead which is required. Generally a decorator will allow for using a caulk between two painted surfaces for gaps up to approximately 3mm, however the extra over rate for gaps of 3 to 10mm is £1.50/m. A gap next to a prefinished surface should be filled using a self finished mastic even if on of the surfaces at the junction is painted. Forming a caulk line that cannot be completely overlapped on both surfaces is bad practice and should be avoided, as this will cause future cleaning and maintenance problems. You should note that this produce is designed to be painted over as are all decorators acrylic sealants. They cannot be rubbed down and will discolour and pick up dust and dirt if not over painted, these unpainted caulks can blacken and promote bacterial growth so it is essential that they are painted over completely. These sealants and fillers are water based and usually used for gap filling down the sides of architraves or in the top of skirting boards. Again they are supplied in many colours and can be over-printed, some can be sanded and the white ones can sometimes be stained but check on the tube if this is the case.
Sanitary Sealants
- Sanitary sealants are suitable for kitchen and bathroom use, have great flexibility and provide a flexible waterproof seal.
