Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Little Houghton, Northamptonshire
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Little Houghton, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Stained silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Leaks at the edges
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Let steam out after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
How we handle bath resealing in Little Houghton
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We’re frequently asked to fix black spots in the silicone and silicone smeared on tiles, in shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

FAQs for Little Houghton
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you cover the entire of Northamptonshire?
All of Northamptonshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Common problems we fix in Little Houghton
In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Look out for these signs:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- A messy previous reseal
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Gaps by the taps
Before you book anyone
- Aftercare advice
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
