Common problems we fix in Mackerel's Common
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Common reasons people in Mackerel's Common contact us are:
- Gaps in the seal
- Unsealed corners
- Leaks at the edges
- Mould you cannot clean out
Before you book anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep the joints dry
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 generally cheaper.

Resealing in Mackerel's Common: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Mackerel's Common customers choose us
- Same prices wherever you are
- A year’s guarantee on all work
