Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Sulgrave, Northamptonshire
Our technicians come to Sulgrave for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- An untidy old seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Bath resealing in Sulgrave without replacing anything
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and sealant that’s split or lifting.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A flexing bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Sulgrave, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What we are called out for in Sulgrave
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- An untidy old seal
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Stained silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
- How to care for the finish

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Sulgrave: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Do you come to Sulgrave?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Sulgrave and the rest of Northamptonshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you cover the whole of Northamptonshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Sulgrave included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
