Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Bottesford, North Lincolnshire
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Bottesford, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Leaks at the edges
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Air the room after use
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Bath resealing at your home in Bottesford
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and an untidy old seal, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When to call us in Bottesford
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Gaps in the seal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- An untidy old seal

Common questions in Bottesford
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
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 won’t last.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
