Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Basford, Stoke-on-Trent
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Basford, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps in the seal
- Unsealed corners
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Bath resealing in Basford without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and black mould in the sealant, we can usually put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Questions from Basford
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Are there extra charges for Basford?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Basford?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Open a window after bathing
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Prices and what affects them
There is no area surcharge for Basford. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
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 pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Basford as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Do you need bath resealing in Basford?
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Unsealed corners
- Gaps in the seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
