DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep the joints dry
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
