DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
Bath resealing at your home in Upper Shelton
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’re dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and stained silicone, we can help, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Upper Shelton as everywhere else we work.

Landlord and trade work in Upper Shelton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
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 will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What affects the price in Upper Shelton
We charge the same across the UK, including Upper Shelton. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Keep bottles off the joints
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Upper Shelton questions

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Upper Shelton and the rest of Bedford Borough. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
