Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Preston, Rutland
Bath resealing across Preston and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps in the seal
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
How we handle bath resealing in Preston
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Typical jobs include stained silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Prices and what affects them
There’s no charge for travel to Preston. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Preston
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Rutland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Hidden water damage
- A flexing bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Common problems we fix in Preston
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Stained silicone
- Black spots in the silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
