How we handle bath resealing in Shute
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Your questions about bath resealing in Shute
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Shute included. Travel is included in the price.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You will get the curing time from us.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EX13 postcode.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting 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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Related advice
What we are called out for in Shute
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black spots in the silicone
- An untidy old seal
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Who will actually do the work
- When it can be used again
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Let steam out after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors.

You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
