How we handle bath resealing in Shapwick
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with 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’re frequently asked to fix silicone smeared on tiles and sealant that’s split or lifting, on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shapwick use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Movement in the bath or tray

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common questions in Shapwick
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
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.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How we price bath resealing
We don’t charge extra for travel to Shapwick. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
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 price, not a guess.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow around two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get 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’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

When to call us in Shapwick
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
