Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Newtown, Shropshire
We travel to Newtown for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
Bath resealing in Newtown, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and stained silicone, we can help.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Air the room after use
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Why reseal now?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Newtown
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
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, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t 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 pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Newtown: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Newtown?
Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
