How we handle bath resealing in Shimpling Street
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and black mould in the sealant, in basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Why it’s worth resealing in Shimpling Street
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Landlord and trade work in Shimpling Street
If you manage property in Shimpling Street, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shimpling Street as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.
FAQs for Shimpling Street
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
When to call us in Shimpling Street
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Unsealed corners
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone smeared on tiles
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether they match the colour on site

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shimpling Street. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
