- Missing sealant behind the taps
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Bath resealing in Maker, done in place
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. If you are dealing with a messy previous reseal and stained silicone, we can generally put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units alike.
In a village like Maker, walls and floors in older homes are rarely perfectly straight, which makes a neat, lasting seal more important.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the seal a regular clean
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A flexing bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Signs you need bath resealing in Maker
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps by the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- Mould you can’t clean out
Landlords with property near Devonport station (about 2.5 miles north) use us between tenancies, so baths and showers are repaired rather than replaced.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
