About our bath resealing in Shelton

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s unsealed corners and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can usually put it right, on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Shelton questions

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Do you come to Shelton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Shelton and the rest of Stoke-on-Trent. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Shelton.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Shelton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Shelton clients choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What bath resealing costs

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Signs you need bath resealing in Shelton

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Aftercare advice
  • Who will actually do the work
  • When it can be used again
