Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Longden, Shropshire
We travel to Longden for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps by the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Bath resealing in Longden, done in place
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. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and black mould in the sealant, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
