Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Welham, Nottinghamshire
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Welham, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps by the taps
Bath resealing in Welham without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath or tray and sealant that’s split or lifting.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Welham
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Welham as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Nottinghamshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Let steam out after showers
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What affects the price in Welham
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours. We leave the room clean.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

FAQs for Welham
Do you cover the entire of Nottinghamshire?
All of Nottinghamshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We will give you the curing time, generally around a day.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
