Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Can I fix it myself?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
FAQs for High Shincliffe
How long will it take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Resealing in High Shincliffe: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- No need to remove anything
- One-year guarantee on every repair
See our prices page.
Signs you need bath resealing in High Shincliffe
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Stained silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
What to look for in a quote
- How to care for the finish
- What preparation is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A flexing bath
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
