Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TN11 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

Materials we repair

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Your questions about bath resealing in Crockhurst Street

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How long before I can shower?

Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
