Trusted bath resealing in The Shoe

Can I fix it myself?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Bath resealing in The Shoe, done in place

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops. Most jobs take a couple of hours. If you’re dealing with a messy previous reseal and unsealed corners, we can help.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs

Take a look at our full price list.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Open a window after bathing

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes around two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Questions from The Shoe

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in The Shoe?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units

How we price bath resealing

You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for The Shoe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

If you manage property in The Shoe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
