Bath resealing in Shaw

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Bath resealing in Shaw without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Why it’s worth resealing in Shaw

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What affects the price in Shaw

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not 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, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
