Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Do you need bath resealing in Shillington?
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- An untidy old seal
- Damp near the bath
- Stained silicone
- Black spots in the silicone
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- How soon you can use it again
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price covers travel
Landlord and trade work in Shillington
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hertfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
