How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • 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.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Bath resealing in Shefford, done in place

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are black mould in the sealant and stained silicone.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Why it’s worth resealing in Shefford

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes around two hours. We leave the room clean.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

  • An untidy old seal
  • Black spots in the silicone

FAQs for Shefford

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

How much does bath resealing cost in Shefford?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What bath resealing costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Shefford. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back

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