Bath resealing in Ditherington

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Shropshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

About our bath resealing in Ditherington

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are an untidy old seal and black spots in the silicone.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What we are called out for in Ditherington

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Stained silicone
  • Mould you cannot clean out

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Aftercare advice
  • How the colour is matched
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Ditherington questions

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you cover the entire of Shropshire?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Ditherington.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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