Bath Resealing for Shorthampton homes
Local bath resealing for Shorthampton: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Bath resealing in Shorthampton without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We are frequently asked to fix gaps by the taps and stained silicone, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How we price bath resealing
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

- The material, if you know it

FAQs for Shorthampton
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Are there extra charges for Shorthampton?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
How long does resealing take?
Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Shorthampton.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Signs you need bath resealing in Shorthampton
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Stained silicone
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- Who will actually do the work
- What preparation is included
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
