How we handle bath resealing in Shawbury

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and stained silicone, across wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Shawbury and across Shropshire.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take around two hours, including clearing up.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

How we price bath resealing

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When to call us in Shawbury

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

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Stained silicone

Questions to ask before you book

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

FAQs for Shawbury

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Do you work in Shawbury?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Shawbury from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will there be a smell?

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

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
