How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common questions in Common Side
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long before I can shower?
Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Common Side?
We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your HD8 postcode.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Common Side. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common problems we fix in Common Side
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Gaps in the seal
