Bath resealing in Shrewsbury

Bath resealing in Shrewsbury without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can typically put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shrewsbury

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shrewsbury use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

FAQs for Shrewsbury

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Shrewsbury.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

When to call us in Shrewsbury

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Damp near the bath
  • Mould you cannot clean out

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Resealing in Shrewsbury: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. 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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
