Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Newstead, Nottinghamshire
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Newstead, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps in the seal
- Mould you can’t clean out
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep the joints dry
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
About our bath resealing in Newstead
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and unsealed corners, across shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Resealing in Newstead: why it matters
Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What bath resealing costs
There’s no area surcharge for Newstead. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
