What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Common problems we fix in Harston
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Damp near the bath
- A messy previous reseal
- Missing sealant behind the taps

- How long it needs to cure
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price covers travel
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Air the room after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Dry the seal after bathing
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What affects the price in Harston
There’s no charge for travel to Harston. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of

- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Questions from Harston
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
