Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Oxcroft Estate, Derbyshire
Bath resealing in and around Oxcroft Estate: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Gaps by the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
- Old sealant that looks dirty
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
About our bath resealing in Oxcroft Estate
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and unsealed corners.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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 won’t last.

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take around two hours, tidy-up included.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How we price bath resealing
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Questions from Oxcroft Estate
How long before I can shower?
Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you work in Oxcroft Estate?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Oxcroft Estate and the rest of Derbyshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
