Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Preston, Torbay
Our repair technicians come to Preston for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
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.
About our bath resealing in Preston
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and discoloured, yellow sealant, in wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What we are called out for in Preston
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.
What affects the price in Preston
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
FAQs for Preston
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover the whole of Torbay?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are there extra charges for Preston?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Resealing in Preston: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the area is dry

What else we do in Preston
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Air the room after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
