DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlord and trade work in Toppesfield
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets 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.
What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Toppesfield: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
How long before I can shower?
Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
