About our bath resealing in Shortlanesend
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and a messy previous reseal, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
What else we do in Shortlanesend
Common problems we fix in Shortlanesend
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps by the taps
- An untidy old seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Shortlanesend questions
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

What affects the price in Shortlanesend
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Let steam out after showers
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
