Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Ellingham, Northumberland
Fixed-price bath resealing in Ellingham and the surrounding area, generally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Leaks at the edges
- A messy previous reseal
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Bath resealing in Ellingham, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include silicone coming away from the tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How we price bath resealing
There’s no charge for travel to Ellingham. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What else we do in Ellingham
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
What we are called out for in Ellingham
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Gaps by the taps
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ellingham use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Common questions in Ellingham
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Ellingham is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Do you work in Ellingham?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ellingham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
