Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Downend, West Berkshire
Our repair technicians come to Downend for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.

- Mould you can’t clean out
Bath resealing in Downend, done in place
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s black mould in the sealant and leaks at the edges, we can normally put it right, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Keep the joints dry
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What else we do in Downend
Landlord and trade work in Downend
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
