About our bath resealing in Shader
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We are often asked to fix leaks at the edges and an untidy old seal, across wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common problems we fix in Shader
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Stained silicone
- An untidy old seal
- Leaks at the edges
- Sealant that’s split or lifting

What affects the price in Shader
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Your questions about bath resealing in Shader
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Are there extra charges for Shader?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
