Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Elmhurst, Staffordshire

- Missing sealant behind the taps
Bath resealing in Elmhurst without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include silicone coming away from the tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray, in basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- 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.

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A flexing bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures

Prices and what affects them
There’s no charge for travel to Elmhurst. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Elmhurst. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Elmhurst, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Other services in Elmhurst
Landlord and trade work in Elmhurst
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
