DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Egleton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Egleton, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Common questions in Egleton
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How much does bath resealing cost in Egleton?
We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LE15 postcode.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Common problems we fix in Egleton
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Gaps by the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- Stained silicone
- Gaps in the seal
