DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Signs you need bath resealing in Greystoke
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray

Greystoke questions
Do you come to Greystoke?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Greystoke and the rest of Cumbria. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the area is dry

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Greystoke
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What affects the price in Greystoke
We charge the same across the UK, including Greystoke. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
