Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Long Crendon, Buckinghamshire
Bath resealing across Long Crendon and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- A messy previous reseal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
How we handle bath resealing in Long Crendon
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s mould you can’t clean out and gaps by the taps, we can typically put it right.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Don’t 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’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
How we price bath resealing
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Do you need bath resealing in Long Crendon?
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- An untidy old seal

FAQs for Long Crendon
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time.
Do you cover the entire of Buckinghamshire?
We work UK-wide, so Long Crendon is covered. Prices do not change with location.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Are there extra charges for Long Crendon?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
