Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Carrington, Nottingham
Bath resealing in and around Carrington: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Gaps in the seal
Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Carrington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Bath resealing in Carrington without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for missing sealant behind the taps and black spots in the silicone, in shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Nottingham.

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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What we are called out for in Carrington
Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Gaps in the seal
- Stained silicone
- Black spots in the silicone
- Damp near the bath
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- Who will actually do the work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What preparation is included
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
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.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes around two hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NG5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Nottingham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Carrington: your questions answered
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Do you cover Carrington?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Carrington. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
