Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Lower Shelton, Bedford Borough

- An untidy old seal

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, 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 doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
About our bath resealing in Lower Shelton
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are silicone coming away from the tiles and missing sealant behind the taps.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Lower Shelton and across Bedford Borough.

Landlord and trade work in Lower Shelton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Shelton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage

Your questions about bath resealing in Lower Shelton
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We’ll give you the curing time.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
