Bath resealing in Shatterling without replacing anything

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Our repair technicians work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are unsealed corners and gaps in the seal.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Common problems we fix in Shatterling

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Common questions in Shatterling

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Shatterling

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  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

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
