What affects the quote in Shipley
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The type of sealant required
- Access and height
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The address or postcode of the job
- The type of property
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Shipley
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a clean white or clear joint fixes it quickly. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. If you have cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and smears of silicone across the tiles, we can help.
Around Shipley, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.

Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
What colours of sealant can you use?
White and clear are the most common choices, but other colours can be used to suit tiles and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
It takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. You will know how long to expect before work begins.
What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Shipley
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Managing a site like Shipley CofE Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In the older streets around The Church of St Mary the Virgin, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Somewhere like Shipley needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear the area around the work

Surface by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both take water every day, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, and a food-safe product where it’s needed. The joint is laid neatly so it’s easy to wipe.

What else we do in Shipley
When to call us in Shipley
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, and a tray that is not fully bedded can rock. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Water getting behind the bath panel
Letting a property close to Billingshurst station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
