How we handle bath resealing in Shilbottle
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and gaps by the taps, we can typically put it right, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Common questions in Shilbottle
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Shilbottle?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
How long does a reseal take?
Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Open a window after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Landlord and trade work in Shilbottle
For anyone letting property in or around Shilbottle, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What we work on
- Wet rooms

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
