About our bath resealing in Shippon
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about unsealed corners and silicone coming away from the tiles.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Shippon questions
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you need bath resealing in Shippon?

Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black spots in the silicone
- Leaks at the edges

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep the joints dry
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
