Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Risley, Derbyshire
Bath resealing across Risley and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Black spots in the silicone
- Leaks at the edges
- Missing sealant behind the taps
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Bath resealing in Risley, done in place
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, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and people most often call us about mould you can’t clean out and leaks at the edges.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
