Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Let steam out after showers

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

About our bath resealing in Shitterton

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 are often asked to fix gaps in the seal and black spots in the silicone, across shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Shitterton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Shitterton: your questions answered

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When to call us in Shitterton

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Before you book anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why Shitterton clients choose us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before booking

Take a look at our prices page.

How we price bath resealing

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
