Why it’s worth resealing in Preston
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Preston questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Somerset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What else we do in Preston
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Let steam out after showers
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
