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 typically cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What bath resealing costs

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Shipton-under-Wychwood. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Shipton-under-Wychwood

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black mould in the sealant

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
