Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Hints, Shropshire
Fixed-price bath resealing in Hints and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Gaps by the taps
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths

How we handle bath resealing in Hints
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s damp near the bath and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Open a window after bathing
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a couple of hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Common questions in Hints
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Generally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Are there extra charges for Hints?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
