Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Somerby, Lincolnshire
We travel to Somerby for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Gaps by the taps
- Stained silicone
- Black mould in the sealant
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Air the room after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Bath resealing in Somerby without replacing anything
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and unsealed corners.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Your questions about bath resealing in Somerby
Do you come to Somerby?
We do. We send a technician to Somerby for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Somerby
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Somerby as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Why it’s worth resealing in Somerby
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Somerby. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
