Bath Resealing for Shortlands homes
Bath resealing in and around Shortlands: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps in the seal
- Gaps by the taps
Can I fix it myself?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How we handle bath resealing in Shortlands
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are silicone coming away from the tiles and black spots in the silicone.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Shortlands
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Common questions in Shortlands
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Shortlands. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BR2 postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you cover Shortlands?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Shortlands from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How long does resealing take?
Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Resealing in Shortlands: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A flexing bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim

Do you need bath resealing in Shortlands?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether they match the colour on site
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow about two hours for a bath.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
For a price in Shortlands, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
