- A messy previous reseal

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How we handle bath resealing in Lower Morton
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for black spots in the silicone and silicone smeared on tiles, across shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Your questions about bath resealing in Lower Morton
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You will get the curing time from us, usually around a day.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Air the room after use
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A flexing bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units

Prices and what affects them
We don’t charge extra for travel to Lower Morton. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
