Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Copthorne, Shropshire
We travel to Copthorne for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Gaps by the taps
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Bath resealing in Copthorne, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. If you are dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and mould you can’t clean out, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Copthorne
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Copthorne use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Resealing in Copthorne: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. 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.

Copthorne questions
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A flexing bath
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Let steam out after showers
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SY1 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
