Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Benthall, Northumberland
Bath resealing across Benthall and nearby, normally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Bath resealing at your home in Benthall
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include sealant that’s split or lifting and black mould in the sealant, across kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Benthall
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northumberland and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
