Bath resealing in Maxton, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed corners and leaks at the edges.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Resealing in Maxton: why it matters
Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
For a price in Maxton, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Landlord and trade work in Maxton
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
