Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Why it’s worth resealing in How Wood
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for How Wood. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in How Wood as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep the joints dry
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What affects the price in How Wood
There is no area surcharge for How Wood. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in How Wood, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
