Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Milton questions
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Prices and what affects them
You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you are in Milton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
