Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Cockshutt, Shropshire

How we handle bath resealing in Cockshutt
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and mould you can’t clean out.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the price in Cockshutt
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cockshutt. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Do you need bath resealing in Cockshutt?
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Unsealed corners
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What aftercare is recommended
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Let steam out after showers
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Common questions in Cockshutt
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
How much does bath resealing cost in Cockshutt?
Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your SY12 postcode.
