About our bath resealing in Oswestry

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you are dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and black spots in the silicone, we can usually put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. There are no surprise 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.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Common questions in Oswestry

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We will give you the curing time.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Oswestry included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Shropshire.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What we are called out for in Oswestry

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Stained silicone
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
