Bath resealing in Shotgate without replacing anything
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can typically put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What affects the price in Shotgate
We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Shotgate, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Air the room after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A flexing bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
