Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Widford, Hertfordshire

Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Bath resealing in Widford, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for mould you can’t clean out and silicone coming away from the tiles, across basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Widford
Do you work in Widford?
We do. We send a technician to Widford for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
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.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
How long does resealing take?
Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- 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.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Landlord and trade work in Widford
For anyone letting property in or around Widford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
If you are in Widford and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Common problems we fix in Widford
In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

- Leaks at the edges
- Old sealant that looks dirty
What your quote should include

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What else we do in Widford
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
