Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most customers in Acomb get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Resealing in Acomb: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Work done at your home or business
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Acomb questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Hidden water damage
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Open a window after bathing
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
