Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access

Resealing in Deneside: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
What affects the price in Deneside
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Open a window after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep the joints dry
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
FAQs for Deneside
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you work in Deneside?
We do. Technicians travel to Deneside from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
