Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Shaw, Swindon
We travel to Shaw for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- An untidy old seal
- Unsealed corners
- Stained silicone
How we handle bath resealing in Shaw
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with mould you can’t clean out and gaps in the seal, we can normally put it right, on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Shaw and across Swindon.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Why it’s worth resealing in Shaw
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most clients in Shaw get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hidden water damage
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
