Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Lane Head, Derbyshire
Bath resealing across Lane Head and nearby, typically in one visit.
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Unsealed corners
- Mould you cannot clean out
How we handle bath resealing in Lane Head
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. Common call-outs are for black mould in the sealant and silicone smeared on tiles, in baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
What happens on the day
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 work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A flexing bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
