What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A flexing bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Kingston
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
Call 0345 017 0787 or use 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.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What we’re called out for in Kingston
Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Kingston questions
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
