DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Sutton in Ashfield questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Use the extractor fan
- Dry the seal after bathing
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
