How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

FAQs for Buttrills

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Are there extra charges for Buttrills?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How long will it take?

Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Buttrills, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
