Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Fanshawe, Cheshire East
Bath resealing across Fanshawe and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Black spots in the silicone
- Damp near the bath
- Unsealed corners
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Bath resealing in Fanshawe, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We’re frequently asked to fix an untidy old seal and mould you can’t clean out, in baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Your questions about bath resealing in Fanshawe
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Fanshawe?
Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Other services in Fanshawe
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Is resealing worth it?
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. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes about two hours for a bath.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Let steam out after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
