Bath Resealing in Shernborne
Fixed-price bath resealing in Shernborne and the surrounding area, typically in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps in the seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black spots in the silicone
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Bath resealing at your home in Shernborne
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for missing sealant behind the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Your questions about bath resealing in Shernborne
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Norfolk. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to around two hours, including clearing up.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Get a quote
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
When to call us in Shernborne
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
Before you book anyone
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How long it needs to cure
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What bath resealing costs
There is no charge for travel to Shernborne. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you’re in Shernborne and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
