Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Harby, Leicestershire
Fixed-price bath resealing in Harby and the surrounding area, usually in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Unsealed corners
- A messy previous reseal
How we handle bath resealing in Harby
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include water getting behind the bath or tray and sealant that’s split or lifting, across kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
What we are called out for in Harby
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Damp near the bath
- Stained silicone
- Mould you can’t clean out
Questions to ask before you book
- How to look after the finish
- How long it needs to cure
- How changes to the job are handled
- What preparation is included
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Hidden water damage
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Leicestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Your questions about bath resealing in Harby
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
