How we handle bath resealing in Shangton

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed corners and an untidy old seal.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

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.

Common problems we fix in Shangton

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Unsealed corners

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairs by material

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.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What affects the price in Shangton

We charge the same across the UK, including Shangton. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Shangton

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Leicestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Shangton: your questions answered

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Do you work in Shangton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Shangton and the rest of Leicestershire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Resealing in Shangton: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our full price list.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
