Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Birts Street, Herefordshire
Bath resealing across Birts Street and nearby, typically in one visit.
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- An untidy old seal
- Unsealed corners
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep the joints dry
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Store bottles on a shelf
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
How we handle bath resealing in Birts Street
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are black spots in the silicone and old sealant that looks dirty.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Birts Street as everywhere else we work.

How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Birts Street, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Do you need bath resealing in Birts Street?
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Black spots in the silicone
- An untidy old seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Sealant that is split or lifting
Before booking anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

Birts Street: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What areas do you cover?
All of Herefordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
