When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A flexing bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Whiston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
What else we do in Whiston
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
What affects the price in Whiston
There is no charge for travel to Whiston. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Whiston, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Whiston questions
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Generally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Whiston and the rest of Rotherham. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
