DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Your questions about bath resealing in Corton
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
What else we do in Corton
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hollow or loose tiles
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Corton

Landlord and trade work in Corton
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Corton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Corton, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
