Bath resealing in Shiphay, done in place
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We’re often asked to fix discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone smeared on tiles, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What bath resealing costs
We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you are in Shiphay and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Common questions in Shiphay
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Resealing in Shiphay: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Landlord and trade work in Shiphay
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
