Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Lansdown, Gloucestershire
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Lansdown, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Unsealed corners
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Bath resealing in Lansdown, done in place
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed corners and damp near the bath.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What bath resealing costs
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Lansdown. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your GL50 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What else we do in Lansdown
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Common problems we fix in Lansdown
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- A messy previous reseal
- Black spots in the silicone
Comparing quotes
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Let steam out after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
