Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Garthorpe, North Lincolnshire
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Garthorpe, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.

How we handle bath resealing in Garthorpe
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 water getting behind the bath or tray and black mould in the sealant, we can usually put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Garthorpe
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Why it’s worth resealing in Garthorpe
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A flexing bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

Your questions about bath resealing in Garthorpe
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Garthorpe?

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
What we’re called out for in Garthorpe

Common reasons people in Garthorpe contact us are:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black mould in the sealant
- Damp near the bath
Before you book anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
