Landlord and trade work in Ellesmere
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
About our bath resealing in Ellesmere
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We’re often asked to fix missing sealant behind the taps and gaps in the seal, in wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Store bottles on a shelf
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why Ellesmere customers choose us
- No need to remove anything
- No extra charge for your area
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- We leave the room as we found it

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Common questions in Ellesmere
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Signs you need bath resealing in Ellesmere
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps by the taps

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs 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 price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
