Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Mentmore, Central Bedfordshire
Bath resealing across Mentmore and nearby, typically in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Leaks at the edges
- Black mould in the sealant
- Sealant that is split or lifting
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
About our bath resealing in Mentmore
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with damp near the bath and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can usually put it right, on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How we price bath resealing
You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Mentmore, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Common problems we fix in Mentmore
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Unsealed corners
Comparing quotes
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
- How the colour is matched

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Mentmore: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How long before I can shower?
Usually after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
