Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Rushop, Derbyshire
Bath resealing across Rushop and nearby, generally in one visit.
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Damp near the bath
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Bath resealing at your home in Rushop
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We’re often asked to fix a messy previous reseal and gaps in the seal, across wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Air the room after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Run 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. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
When to call us in Rushop
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Gaps in the seal
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black mould in the sealant
Before you book anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can

What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units

Are you accredited?
