Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes around two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Why it’s worth resealing in Sadberge
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A flexing bath

Common questions in Sadberge
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
