Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Millhouses, Sheffield
We travel to Millhouses for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Damp near the bath
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Mould you cannot clean out
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
How we handle bath resealing in Millhouses
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are stained silicone and black spots in the silicone.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Millhouses and across Sheffield.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common problems we fix in Millhouses
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles

Landlords, agents and businesses in Millhouses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Air the room after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Why it’s worth resealing in Millhouses

FAQs for Millhouses
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We’ll give you the curing time, generally around a day.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
