Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Coleford, Gloucestershire
Our technicians come to Coleford for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- A messy previous reseal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Unsealed corners
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
About our bath resealing in Coleford
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and mould you can’t clean out, we can help.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Coleford and across Gloucestershire.

What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take around two hours, tidy-up included.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Signs you need bath resealing in Coleford
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- An untidy old seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Damp near the bath
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What preparation is included

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gloucestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What bath resealing costs
We don’t charge extra for travel to Coleford. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
