Bath Resealing for Shottlegate homes
Our technicians come to Shottlegate for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Bath resealing in Shottlegate without replacing anything
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about mould you can’t clean out and damp near the bath.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

FAQs for Shottlegate
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We will give you the curing time.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours, tidy-up included.
- 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.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Let steam out after showers
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What bath resealing costs
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
