Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Vigo, Worcestershire
Fixed-price bath resealing in Vigo and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Gaps by the taps
- Mould you cannot clean out
- An untidy old seal
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep bottles off the joints
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Bath resealing at your home in Vigo
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with a messy previous reseal and mould you can’t clean out, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
FAQs for Vigo
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Worcestershire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Vigo. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A flexing bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

When to call us in Vigo
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Black spots in the silicone
- A messy previous reseal
- Leaks at the edges
- Sealant that is split or lifting
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Aftercare advice
- How soon you can use it again
Prices and what affects them
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
