Bath resealing at your home in Clipston
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about missing sealant behind the taps and black spots in the silicone.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Clipston and across Northamptonshire.

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
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. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Clipston: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long does a reseal take?
Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

For anyone letting property in or around Clipston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
