How we handle bath resealing in Shawford
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with gaps by the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Signs you need bath resealing in Shawford
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Unsealed corners
- Black mould in the sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- A messy previous reseal
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- When it can be used again
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shawford
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What affects the price in Shawford
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Shawford
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you cover the entire of Somerset?
Everywhere in the UK, Shawford included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Shawford, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Use the extractor fan
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
