Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Elsthorpe, Lincolnshire
Bath resealing across Elsthorpe and nearby, generally in one visit.
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can

How we handle bath resealing in Elsthorpe
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are missing sealant behind the taps and silicone coming away from the tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Why it’s worth resealing in Elsthorpe
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Signs you need bath resealing in Elsthorpe
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Stained silicone
- Damp near the bath
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- How the room is protected while they work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
If you manage property in Elsthorpe, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Your questions about bath resealing in Elsthorpe
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Elsthorpe?
Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
