Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Lydham, Shropshire
Fixed-price bath resealing in Lydham and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Black spots in the silicone
- An untidy old seal
- Damp near the bath
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Use the extractor fan
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Bath resealing at your home in Lydham
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and gaps in the seal, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Why it’s worth resealing in Lydham
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Very wide gaps that need a trim

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Lydham, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

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.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Common questions in Lydham
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Do you come to Lydham?
We do. We send a technician to Lydham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
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.
