Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Slack, Derbyshire
Our technicians come to Slack for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Gaps by the taps
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
Bath resealing in Slack without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone smeared on tiles, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

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. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Open a window after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep bottles off the joints
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
For a price in Slack, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Slack questions
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your S45 postcode.
Do you come to Slack?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Slack for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
