Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Longford, Gloucestershire
Our technicians come to Longford for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Stained silicone
- Damp near the bath
- Mould you can’t clean out
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes around two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Landlord and trade work in Longford
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
We don’t add 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.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Longford, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Your questions about bath resealing in Longford
How much does bath resealing cost in Longford?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep the joints dry
- Air the room after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
