DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Bath resealing in Sherbourne Street without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s black mould in the sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths alike.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlord and trade work in Sherbourne Street

If you manage property in Sherbourne Street, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sherbourne Street use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Sherbourne Street clients choose us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Sherbourne Street questions

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time, typically around a day.

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.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

What bath resealing costs

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
