Why it’s worth resealing in Cavendish
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Work done at your home or business

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Hidden water damage
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Air the room after use
- Use the extractor fan
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
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.
