Bath resealing in Shelley, 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. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and damp near the bath, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common problems we fix in Shelley
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- Leaks at the edges
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- An untidy old seal
Comparing quotes
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the colour is matched
Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Shelley, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep the joints dry
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Resealing in Shelley: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

- Work done at your home or business

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in Shelley
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Shelley?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
