Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Heckington, Lincolnshire
Bath resealing across Heckington and nearby, typically in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- An untidy old seal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Unsealed corners
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Bath resealing in Heckington, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include black spots in the silicone and water getting behind the bath or tray, across wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths

What your bath or shower is made of matters
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.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from pictures 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.
Questions from Heckington
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How long before I can shower?
Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
