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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

FAQs for Charlton Down
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How much does bath resealing cost in Charlton Down?
We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DT2 postcode.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Charlton Down
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Charlton Down as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Signs you need bath resealing in Charlton Down
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Stained silicone
- Gaps by the taps
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again
Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Charlton Down, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
