Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Why it’s worth resealing in Straiton
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Straiton
There’s no charge for travel to Straiton. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
What we are called out for in Straiton
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Look out for these signs:
- Unsealed corners
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Leaks at the edges
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- What preparation is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if they find more damage
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Baths

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
When can I use the bath after resealing?

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
