Materials and what they mean for the repair
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, so the joint is at its widest.
About our bath resealing in Yattendon
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are missing sealant behind the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Berkshire.

Advice
Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Work done at your home or business
- One visit for most repairs
- Nothing taken out or refitted

FAQs for Yattendon
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you cover Yattendon?
We do. We send a technician to Yattendon for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Yattendon
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Yattendon, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
