About our bath resealing in Shirecliffe
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are old sealant that looks dirty and missing sealant behind the taps.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from Shirecliffe
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Are there extra charges for Shirecliffe?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
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 don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
What bath resealing costs
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Do you need bath resealing in Shirecliffe?
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
- Damp near the bath
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
