Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Ilkeston, Derbyshire
Bath resealing across Ilkeston and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Black spots in the silicone
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps by the taps
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours, tidy-up included.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Bath resealing in Ilkeston, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and mould you can’t clean out, we can help.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When to call us in Ilkeston
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- A messy previous reseal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Damp near the bath
- Unsealed corners
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if they find more damage
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Movement in the bath or tray

Ilkeston: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
