- Black mould in the sealant
Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
How we handle bath resealing in Greatworth
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We’re frequently asked to fix silicone smeared on tiles and missing sealant behind the taps, across basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Resealing in Greatworth: why it matters
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep bottles off the joints
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Greatworth as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
