Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

How we handle bath resealing in Drakelow

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you are dealing with a messy previous reseal and leaks at the edges, we can generally put it right, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common problems we fix in Drakelow

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • An untidy old seal
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How we price bath resealing

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Drakelow: your questions answered

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Worcestershire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
