What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

- Movement in the bath or tray

About our bath resealing in Tingwall
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with discoloured, yellow sealant and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

- Black spots in the silicone
- A messy previous reseal
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- When it can be used again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
What else we do in Tingwall
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Keep the joints dry
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tingwall. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Your questions about bath resealing in Tingwall
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Tingwall?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are there extra charges for Tingwall?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours. The room is left tidy.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
