Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Beech Hill, West Berkshire
Bath resealing across Beech Hill and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Stained silicone
How we handle bath resealing in Beech Hill
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We regularly repair wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and people most frequently call us about black mould in the sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes around two 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 make sure the joint is completely dry.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Beech Hill as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we’re called out for in Beech Hill
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- An untidy old seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black spots in the silicone
- Unsealed corners
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Keep bottles off the joints
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Beech Hill, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Your questions about bath resealing in Beech Hill
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Beech Hill.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
