Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Shardlow, Derbyshire
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Shardlow, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Stained silicone
- Damp near the bath
- Mould you cannot clean out
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Keep the joints dry
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Bath resealing in Shardlow, done in place
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. If you’re dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and black spots in the silicone, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common questions in Shardlow
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shardlow
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

- Gaps by the taps

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.
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.

What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Why it’s worth resealing in Shardlow
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
What you get with us
- One price list for the entire UK
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
