Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Adderbury, Northamptonshire
Fixed-price bath resealing in Adderbury and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps in the seal
- Black spots in the silicone
Can I fix it myself?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we handle bath resealing in Adderbury
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are an untidy old seal and gaps in the seal.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
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 to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Landlord and trade work in Adderbury
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Air the room after use
- Use the extractor fan
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Do you need bath resealing in Adderbury?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black spots in the silicone
