DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Bath resealing at your home in Elson
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are missing sealant behind the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Shropshire.

Elson: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Why it’s worth resealing in Elson
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- One price list for the whole UK
- A fixed quote before booking

What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep the joints dry
- Let steam out after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Common problems we fix in Elson
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Elson. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
