Bath Resealing for Shirley Oaks homes
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Shirley Oaks, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- An untidy old seal
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Stained silicone
Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Bath resealing in Shirley Oaks, done in place
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and black mould in the sealant.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Questions from Shirley Oaks
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We will give you the curing time.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you work in Shirley Oaks?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Shirley Oaks for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Let steam out after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Signs you need bath resealing in Shirley Oaks
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Sealant that is split or lifting
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the colour is matched
- How the room is protected while they work
- How changes to the job are handled
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
