Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Alton, Staffordshire
Bath resealing across Alton and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Stained silicone
How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your ST10 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How we handle bath resealing in Alton
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include mould you can’t clean out and discoloured, yellow sealant, in basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Alton as everywhere else we work.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep the joints dry
- Give the seal a regular clean
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Hidden water damage
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
Our work in Alton
Alton is about 4 miles east of Cheadle, in Staffordshire. Our technicians come to homes and businesses in Alton and nearby villages, so there is no workshop to go to. Alton is one of 512 towns and villages in Staffordshire we cover. We work right across the region, from Alton to Birmingham (about 35 miles away).
Our visits in ST10 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. From High Street, Lime Kiln Lane and Knight Lane or a nearby road, a technician can come to you. We also travel to Farley (1 mile north), Denstone (2 miles south-east), Prestwood (2 miles east), Stubwood (2 miles south-east) and Rocester (3 miles south-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Stafford (15 miles south-west), Newcastle-under-Lyme (15 miles west), Longton (10 miles west), Rugeley (15 miles south), Stone (12 miles south-west) and Leek (10 miles north-west).
Around Alton
Typical jobs here are in homes near St Peter's CofE Academy Alton, Church of St Peter and The Royal Oak pub and the streets around them. Well-known places in the area include Cheadle Hospital (4.1 miles west) and Alton Castle (less than half a mile north). Green spaces nearby include Cotton Dell.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Other services in Alton
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

FAQs for Alton
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
