Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Blacko, Lancashire
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone for householders, landlords and businesses in Blacko. Free, fixed quotes from your photos.
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Bath resealing in Blacko, done in place
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and gaps by the taps, we can generally put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms alike.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lancashire.

Blacko questions
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Signs you need bath resealing in Blacko
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Black mould in the sealant
- A messy previous reseal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Leaks at the edges
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
- How your room will be protected
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
How we price bath resealing
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- The material
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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Most clients in Blacko get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Store bottles on a shelf
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blacko use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
