Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Resealing in Carnkie: why it matters
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Work done at your home or business
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Rooms protected and left tidy

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: 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.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Use the extractor fan
- Open a window after bathing
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Carnkie questions
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hollow or loose tiles
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
