About our bath resealing in Lower Shelf
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Common call-outs are for unsealed corners and leaks at the edges, in basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow around two hours.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.
Common problems we fix in Lower Shelf
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Gaps by the taps
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- A messy previous reseal
- Black spots in the silicone

Your questions about bath resealing in Lower Shelf
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Keep the joints dry
- Give the seal a regular clean
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Repairs by material
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, for the same reason.
