Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Mears Ashby, Northamptonshire
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Mears Ashby, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.

Bath resealing in Mears Ashby without replacing anything
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We’re often asked to fix damp near the bath and old sealant that looks dirty, in shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northamptonshire.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Resealing in Mears Ashby: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

- Mould you can’t clean out
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
What your quote should include

Common questions in Mears Ashby
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Typically after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Hidden water damage
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
