Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and missing sealant behind the taps, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

What a repair cannot fix

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How we price bath resealing
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job.
Related advice
Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Let steam out after showers
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Sunniside: your questions answered
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Are there extra charges for Sunniside?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
