  • Access to the area

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most clients in Shirkoak get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Bath resealing in Shirkoak without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We’re often asked to fix unsealed corners and leaks at the edges, across shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Shirkoak questions

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you work in Shirkoak?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Shirkoak. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Shirkoak included. There is no extra charge for travel.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TN26 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why it’s worth resealing in Shirkoak

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shirkoak. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it

Take a look at our prices page.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shirkoak

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
