Bath resealing in Shawell

Bath resealing at your home in Shawell

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and silicone smeared on tiles, we can usually put it right.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Shawell

How much does bath resealing cost in Shawell?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you work in Shawell?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Shawell from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Does someone need to be in?

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes around two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  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

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Let steam out after showers

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Common problems we fix in Shawell

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Stained silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
