How we handle bath resealing in Shalfleet

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. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are mould you can’t clean out and a messy previous reseal.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When to call us in Shalfleet

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Stained silicone
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Gaps in the seal

Before booking anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What protection goes down before work starts

FAQs for Shalfleet

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

All of Isle of Wight, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
