Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Barwell, Leicestershire
We travel to Barwell for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we handle bath resealing in Barwell
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. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and missing sealant behind the taps, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Barwell. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep bottles off the joints
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barwell as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Resealing in Barwell: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
