The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours, tidy-up included.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can

Work for landlords and builders
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.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
What affects the price in Kelloe
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Resealing in Kelloe: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hollow or loose tiles
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Use the extractor fan
- Dry the seal after bathing
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
