About our bath resealing in New Sharlston
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in New Sharlston
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Are there extra charges for New Sharlston?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Common problems we fix in New Sharlston
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Damp near the bath
- A messy previous reseal
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- How changes to the job are handled
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What protection goes down before work starts
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What bath resealing costs
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for New Sharlston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
