Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Sharpenhoe, Central Bedfordshire
We travel to Sharpenhoe for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps by the taps
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. 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.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Do you need bath resealing in Sharpenhoe?
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- An untidy old seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black spots in the silicone
- Sealant that’s split or lifting

Landlord and trade work in Sharpenhoe
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
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.
Resealing in Sharpenhoe: why it matters
