Repairs by material
Shower trays

Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
How we handle bath resealing in Sheepwash
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and silicone smeared on tiles.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Sheepwash
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sheepwash as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes around two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Your questions about bath resealing in Sheepwash
How much does bath resealing cost in Sheepwash?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
