Common questions in Shuttleworth
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long does resealing take?
Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
About our bath resealing in Shuttleworth
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you are dealing with gaps in the seal and missing sealant behind the taps, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

- We remove the residue and clean the joint.

- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Prices and what affects them
You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Shuttleworth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep the joints dry
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Common problems we fix in Shuttleworth
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Clients typically contact us about:
- A messy previous reseal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black spots in the silicone
- Damp near the bath
Before booking anyone
- What preparation is included
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find more damage
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
