Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep the joints dry
- Use the extractor fan
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
