Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Calton, Staffordshire
We travel to Calton for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Leaks at the edges
- Black mould in the sealant
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Air the room after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Bath resealing at your home in Calton
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone smeared on tiles.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Calton. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Calton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Why it’s worth resealing in Calton
Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of 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.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap 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
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
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.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
FAQs for Calton
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you cover Calton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Calton. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Calton.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
