DIY kit or professional repair?
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 make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Advice
Common problems we fix in Clayton
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black spots in the silicone
- An untidy old seal
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- How long it needs to cure
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Open a window after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Clayton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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 quote, not a guess.
FAQs for Clayton
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do you cover Clayton?
