What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Grimston questions
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are there extra charges for Grimston?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Do you come to Grimston?
We do. We send a technician to Grimston for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
What bath resealing costs
There is no charge for travel to Grimston. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Grimston
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Grimston use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, 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.
Do you need bath resealing in Grimston?
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Common reasons people in Grimston contact us include:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Gaps in the seal
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Stained silicone
Before booking anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

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 will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
