Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Great Houghton, Northamptonshire
Local bath resealing for Great Houghton: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Air the room after use
- Use the extractor fan
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Bath resealing in Great Houghton 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 so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and a messy previous reseal.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Hidden water damage
- A flexing bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Houghton
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

FAQs for Great Houghton
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
