Can I fix it myself?
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 typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep the joints dry
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A flexing bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice
Why it’s worth resealing in Ashford Common
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
