Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Aycliffe Village
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Aycliffe Village: your questions answered
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of County Durham. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
