About our bath resealing in Rain Shore
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you are dealing with discoloured, yellow sealant and gaps by the taps, we can typically put it right, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
What affects the price in Rain Shore
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Rain Shore. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you’re in Rain Shore and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours. 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.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Why it’s worth resealing in Rain Shore
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Landlord and trade work in Rain Shore
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
When to call us in Rain Shore
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
