Questions from Saxtead Bottom
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays

Why reseal now?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
