Bath resealing in Snailbeach, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and mould you can’t clean out, we can normally put it right, on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Snailbeach and across Shropshire.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Landlord and trade work in Snailbeach

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Snailbeach as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Signs you need bath resealing in Snailbeach

FAQs for Snailbeach

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Snailbeach?

We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SY5 postcode.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
