Bath Resealing for Shittlehope homes
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Shittlehope. Free, fixed quotes from your photos.
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Gaps by the taps
- An untidy old seal
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep the joints dry
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Bath resealing at your home in Shittlehope
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 regularly repair wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone smeared on tiles and black spots in the silicone.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shittlehope
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Common questions in Shittlehope
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Shittlehope. Prices don’t change with location.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair

Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
What affects the price in Shittlehope
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Signs you need bath resealing in Shittlehope
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Damp near the bath
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Unsealed corners
Before you book anyone
- How your room will be protected
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
