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.

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in New England
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New England use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
