When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

East-the-Water: your questions answered
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work in East-the-Water?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to East-the-Water. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in East-the-Water?
Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Landlords, agents and businesses in East-the-Water
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East-the-Water as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
When to call us in East-the-Water
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Stained silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
- How the room is protected while they work
- If travel is included in the price
What affects the price in East-the-Water
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Why it’s worth resealing in East-the-Water
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
