Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Hockliffe, Central Bedfordshire
Our technicians come to Hockliffe for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Black spots in the silicone
- A messy previous reseal
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Bath resealing in Hockliffe without replacing anything
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about unsealed corners and old sealant that looks dirty.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What bath resealing costs
There is no area surcharge for Hockliffe. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Common questions in Hockliffe
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Central Bedfordshire.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for around two hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Hockliffe
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Common problems we fix in Hockliffe
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
