Bath Resealing for Shelton Lock homes

- Missing sealant behind the taps

Bath resealing in Shelton Lock without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are water getting behind the bath or tray and black mould in the sealant.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Shelton Lock and across Derby.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Do you need bath resealing in Shelton Lock?
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps by the taps
- Stained silicone
- Gaps in the seal

- 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.

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Why it’s worth resealing in Shelton Lock
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Rooms protected and left tidy

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
What affects the price in Shelton Lock
You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Shelton Lock. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
