Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Open a window after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Common questions in Gamston
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work in Gamston?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Gamston from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Gamston and the rest of Nottinghamshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the curing time from us, usually around a day.
Landlord and trade work in Gamston
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure 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.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
