- Stained silicone
- Gaps by the taps

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Bath resealing in Herrington without replacing anything
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Herrington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Herrington, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
For anyone letting property in or around Herrington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Questions from Herrington
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
Common problems we fix in Herrington
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Stained silicone
- A messy previous reseal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
