Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Crateford, Staffordshire
Bath resealing in and around Crateford: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Stained silicone
- Gaps in the seal
- Gaps by the taps
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- 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, taps included.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice
Bath resealing in Crateford, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that’s split or lifting and gaps by the taps.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crateford as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What affects the price in Crateford
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures 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 quote.

Do you need bath resealing in Crateford?
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- A messy previous reseal
- Leaks at the edges
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Air the room after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Questions from Crateford
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you come to Crateford?
We do. Technicians travel to Crateford from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Crateford?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
