Sherford: your questions answered
Do you work in Sherford?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Sherford from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What else we do in Sherford
Why it’s worth resealing in Sherford
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Sherford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Open a window after bathing
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Signs you need bath resealing in Sherford
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A messy previous reseal
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Damp near the bath
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether they match the colour on site
