Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Elford, Staffordshire
Bath resealing across Elford and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Leaks at the edges
- A messy previous reseal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
How we handle bath resealing in Elford
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Typical jobs include damp near the bath and a messy previous reseal, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Elford
For developers and builders, we fix 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.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Why it’s worth resealing in Elford
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Do you need bath resealing in Elford?
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
