What affects the price in Shotteswell
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
About our bath resealing in Shotteswell
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and black mould in the sealant, in kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Use the extractor fan
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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 generally the cheaper route.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can

I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is my repair covered?
