Bath resealing for Wem homes

Do you need bath resealing in Wem?

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Stained silicone
  • A messy previous reseal

What your quote should include

About our bath resealing in Wem

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We regularly repair baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about gaps by the taps and an untidy old seal.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Shropshire.

Why it’s worth resealing in Wem

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One price list for the entire UK

See our prices page.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Wem, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  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

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Wem

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

Different materials, different repairs

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, once the joint is completely dry.
