When to call us in Shirley
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps in the seal
- An untidy old seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Damp near the bath

FAQs for Shirley
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
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.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Hidden water damage
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Shirley
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

What bath resealing costs
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most customers in Shirley get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Resealing in Shirley: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shirley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
