Home / Services / Shower Resealing
Shower resealing removes failed silicone and tools a new sanitary joint around a tray, screen or enclosure for UK households whose shower still works but leaks or has gone mouldy. It is not a new tray or a regrout. Send the quote form or WhatsApp with the shower type and the postcode.
It is for households whose shower still works but the joint no longer holds water: cubicles, walk-in trays, and landlords turning a rental between tenancies.
The critical line is where the tray meets the wall tiles. Water behind that joint runs under the tray and into the floor. The old bead is cut out, the shoulder is dried, and a new sanitary bead is tooled.
Glass screens and framed cubicles need a joint where metal or glass meets tile, and often a short bead along the bottom rail. Framed units hide a channel that has to be cleared of old silicone first.
Curved and offset trays have more corner joints. The quote counts those corners rather than treating the shower as one straight line.
You send the shower type, what has failed, and the postcode.
We quote from joint length, corners, and how much old silicone has to come out.
On the day the old bead is cut back to a clean edge.
The joint is dried. Sanitary silicone is gunned and tooled.
You are told how long to leave the shower unused so the skin can cure.
A straightforward tray and screen in a normal UK bathroom is usually quoted in a band of about £90 to £180. Larger walk-ins, heavy mould in a deep channel, or silicone that was painted over sit above that band. The form quote is the price.
People book when the bead has gone black, pulled away from the tray, or when water appears outside the cubicle after a shower. A stain on the ceiling below is a reason to stop using the shower and send photos.
Leave the shower unused for a few hours beforehand so the joint is not wet. Clear bottles off the tray. If the tray is acrylic or stone resin, say so. Do not smear new sealant over the old bead before the visit.
Sanitary silicone skins in a few hours and needs about 24 hours before the shower is used again. Wipe the joint dry after showers and ventilate the room. Bleach on a fresh bead is unnecessary and can mark it.
No. The new bead needs about 24 hours before water runs on it. The cure time is confirmed when the job is finished. A flat with one shower should agree that window before the day.
Wiping mould off a split bead does not reseal the joint. The old silicone has to come out so the new bead can bond to clean surfaces.
No. Grout is the fill between tiles. Silicone is the flexible joint at the tray and screen. This visit reseals that joint.
Often it is the tray or screen joint. It can also be a cracked tray or a leaking waste. Photos show which one it is, and a cracked tray is not sold as a reseal.
Most tray and screen jobs are finished in a single visit of about one to three hours, then left unused for a day. A sound sanitary bead often lasts several years. It fails sooner if water sits in the corner or the old silicone was left underneath.
Send the fitting, what has failed, and the postcode. The reply is a written quote for this joint.
