DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Do you need bath resealing in Bourton?
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps by the taps

- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep the joints dry
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Bourton: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
