Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Houghton, East Riding of Yorkshire
Bath resealing in and around Houghton: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Mould you cannot clean out
- A messy previous reseal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Bath resealing at your home in Houghton
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include gaps by the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray, in shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
