How we handle bath resealing in Shieldfield
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. If you’re dealing with stained silicone and a messy previous reseal, we can usually put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A flexing bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Keep the joints dry
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow around two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, 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.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
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.
Signs you need bath resealing in Shieldfield
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Damp near the bath
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- A messy previous reseal
- Black mould in the sealant
