DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
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 usually the cheaper route.
About our bath resealing in Whitefield
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We regularly repair baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are a messy previous reseal and black mould in the sealant.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Why it’s worth resealing in Whitefield
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your M45 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Open a window after bathing
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do I need to be at home?

Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
