DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them
There is no charge for travel to Cockfosters. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Cockfosters, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Common problems we fix in Cockfosters
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- A messy previous reseal
- Leaks at the edges
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
Questions to ask before you book
- How to care for the finish
- When it can be used again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Do you work in Cockfosters?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Cockfosters. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
