Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Bucknall, Lincolnshire
Our technicians come to Bucknall for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps in the seal
- Unsealed corners
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
About our bath resealing in Bucknall
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re frequently asked to fix unsealed corners and gaps in the seal, across kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Common questions in Bucknall
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
