Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep the joints dry
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Why it’s worth resealing in Newtown St Boswells
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Newtown St Boswells: your questions answered
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
