Generally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Which areas do you work in?

How we handle bath resealing in Common Side
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and gaps in the seal, we can usually put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
If you manage property in Common Side, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
When to call us in Common Side
Sealant does not 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.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Leaks at the edges
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Mould you cannot clean out
Before you book anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
Resealing in Common Side: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- One price list for the entire UK
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
