Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Hidden water damage
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours, tidy-up included.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Keep the joints dry
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
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.
Resealing in Harleston: why it matters
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- One price list for the entire UK
- Everything repaired in place
- A year’s guarantee on all work

When to call us in Harleston
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- An untidy old seal
- Stained silicone
- Gaps in the seal
- Leaks at the edges

Harleston: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Are there extra charges for Harleston?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Prices and what affects them
We do not charge extra for travel to Harleston. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
