What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

10 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Apethorpe

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Apethorpe?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your PE8 postcode.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
