Bath resealing for Child's Ercall homes

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

About our bath resealing in Child's Ercall

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are discoloured, yellow sealant and black mould in the sealant.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Child's Ercall and across Shropshire.

Common questions in Child's Ercall

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Child's Ercall included. Travel is included in the price.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Open a window after bathing

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TF9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Child's Ercall

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Damp near the bath
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps by the taps

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended
