Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Doddington, Lincolnshire
Fixed-price bath resealing in Doddington and the surrounding area, generally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Black mould in the sealant
- A messy previous reseal
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Air the room after use
- Keep the joints dry
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking 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 Doddington
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We are often asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and an untidy old seal, in baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
For a rural address like Doddington, tell us about access and parking, and we will plan the visit around it.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. For a rural home like those around Doddington, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Can you reseal baths and showers in a rental near Hykeham station?
Of course: photos and an address are all we need for a price, and we can arrange access with the tenant if that helps.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you come to Doddington?

Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take around two hours, tidy-up included. Somewhere like Doddington needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the bath resealing, so there is no second trip.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

What we are called out for in Doddington
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps in the seal
Rented homes near Hykeham station (about 2.8 miles south-east) change hands often, and repairing baths and showers between tenants is quicker than replacing them.
