Bath resealing at your home in Shalford
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Common call-outs are for sealant that’s split or lifting and black mould in the sealant, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What we’re called out for in Shalford
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.
Look out for any of the following:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Unsealed corners
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- A messy previous reseal
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
- What prep work is covered
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shalford
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
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.
Shalford: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Are there extra charges for Shalford?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Shalford?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
