Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Gloucestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in Shipton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Bath resealing at your home in Shipton
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for unsealed corners and water getting behind the bath or tray, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- 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.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Why it’s worth resealing in Shipton
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep the joints dry
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Air the room after use
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.

Questions from Shipton
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Shipton?
We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your GL54 postcode.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
