Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most clients in Twynholm get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in Twynholm
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Resealing in Twynholm: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Let steam out after showers
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Twynholm: your questions answered
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Dumfries and Galloway. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
