Bath resealing at your home in Sharlston
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We’re often asked to fix black spots in the silicone and missing sealant behind the taps, across baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What bath resealing costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Do you need bath resealing in Sharlston?
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Stained silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Damp near the bath
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sharlston use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Sharlston: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

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

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath. We leave the room clean.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep the joints dry
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Store bottles on a shelf
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
