Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Cotton End, Northamptonshire
We travel to Cotton End for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps by the taps
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Bath resealing in Cotton End without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include black mould in the sealant and a messy previous reseal, in basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cotton End as everywhere else we work.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What bath resealing costs
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Air the room after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
