Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no charge for travel to Swinford. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your OX29 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you work in Swinford?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Swinford. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
