About our bath resealing in Shaw

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include sealant that’s split or lifting and unsealed corners, in shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What affects the price in Shaw

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Signs you need bath resealing in Shaw

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Stained silicone
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps in the seal

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Air the room after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Shaw: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Shaw is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How soon can you come?

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

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
