Bath Resealing for Shewalton homes
Bath resealing across Shewalton and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Leaks at the edges
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- A messy previous reseal
Bath resealing in Shewalton without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and silicone smeared on tiles, we can help, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

How we price bath resealing
You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we’re called out for in Shewalton
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Stained silicone
- Unsealed corners
- Black mould in the sealant
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled

Why it’s worth resealing in Shewalton
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Shewalton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Use the extractor fan
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Shewalton: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
