Bath resealing in Sholden Meadows, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and leaks at the edges.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
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. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Prices and what affects them
There is no area surcharge for Sholden Meadows. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Air the room after use
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Questions from Sholden Meadows
How long does a reseal take?
Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Generally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Sholden Meadows. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- Same prices wherever you are
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Work done at your home or business
