Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Overthorpe, Northamptonshire
We travel to Overthorpe for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- An untidy old seal
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Resealing in Overthorpe: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We leave the room as we found it
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Landlord and trade work in Overthorpe
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What bath resealing costs
There is no charge for travel to Overthorpe. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
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.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- The material, if you know it
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your OX17 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
What we are called out for in Overthorpe
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Look out for these signs:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps in the seal
- Gaps by the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Aftercare advice
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long it needs to cure
