Questions from Sheldon
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Bath resealing in Sheldon without replacing anything
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours. If you’re dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and damp near the bath, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Sheldon and across Devon.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep the joints dry
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting 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. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A flexing bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
Most customers in Sheldon get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we’re called out for in Sheldon
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Leaks at the edges
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What prep work is covered
Why it’s worth resealing in Sheldon
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
