Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Flintham, Nottinghamshire
Fixed-price bath resealing in Flintham and the surrounding area, generally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps in the seal
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Air the room after use
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Bath resealing in Flintham without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our repair technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are missing sealant behind the taps and mould you can’t clean out.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
