Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Hidden water damage
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Brackley Gate
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no charge for travel to Brackley Gate. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
