Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Upper Affcot, Shropshire
Bath resealing across Upper Affcot and nearby, generally in one visit.
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Bath resealing in Upper Affcot without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and missing sealant behind the taps, we can normally put it right, on basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Upper Affcot, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Upper Affcot: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Shropshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
How long will it take?
Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What bath resealing costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Access to the area
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
