When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hidden water damage
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Questions from Draycott
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Draycott?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You will get the curing time from us, normally around a day.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
When to call us in Draycott
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Mould you cannot clean out
- A messy previous reseal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually do the work
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a couple of hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DE72 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Give the seal a regular clean
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
