Prices and what affects them
You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Places near Tinwald
What else we do in Tinwald
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Your questions about bath resealing in Tinwald
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
When to call us in Tinwald
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
