Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Newtown, Cheshire West and Chester
We travel to Newtown for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- An untidy old seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
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 typically the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Bath resealing in Newtown, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about gaps by the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray.
Older homes around Newtown can have uneven walls and floors, which makes a neat, lasting seal more important.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Resealing in Newtown: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. In an older home in a village like Newtown, replacing a bath or shower can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newtown use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Open a window after bathing
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

More services for Newtown
Do you need bath resealing in Newtown?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Damp near the bath
Facilities teams at buildings such as Tattenhall Park Primary School can book us for changing rooms and washrooms too.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Aftercare advice
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
