About our bath resealing in Shottle
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include silicone smeared on tiles and gaps in the seal, in kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Shottle and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What bath resealing costs
We do not charge extra for travel to Shottle. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in Shottle get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Do you need bath resealing in Shottle?
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Stained silicone
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Shottle questions
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Shottle?
We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your DE56 postcode.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Shottle, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
