About our bath resealing in Shop
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Typical jobs include discoloured, yellow sealant and a messy previous reseal, in shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What else we do in Shop
Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Shop
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EX23 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much 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.

Common questions in Shop
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover Shop?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Shop from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Landlord and trade work in Shop
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shop as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Let steam out after showers
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
