When to call us in Sharpstone Street
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Clients normally contact us about:
- A messy previous reseal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Stained silicone
Before you book anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How to care for the finish
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hidden water damage
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Sharpstone Street questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Are there extra charges for Sharpstone Street?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What affects the price in Sharpstone Street
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your IP6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
