DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and people most often call us about black mould in the sealant and discoloured, yellow sealant.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Common questions in Carloggas
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Carloggas.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the curing time from us, typically around a day.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What else we do in Carloggas
What bath resealing costs
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most customers in Carloggas get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Work for landlords and builders
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.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep the joints dry
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Why reseal now?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Carloggas
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Look out for any of the following:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps by the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- When it can be used again
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
