Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Aldford, Cheshire West and Chester

Bath resealing in Aldford without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for gaps in the seal and a messy previous reseal, in shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Aldford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Aldford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Common problems we fix in Aldford
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- A messy previous reseal
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps by the taps
Before you book anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who will actually do the work
- Aftercare advice
Questions from Aldford
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
