DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

What bath resealing costs

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Questions from Metfield

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths

What we’re called out for in Metfield

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Leaks at the edges

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before you book

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
