Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Thistleton, Rutland
Our repair technicians come to Thistleton 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
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Stained silicone
Bath resealing at your home in Thistleton
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s unsealed corners and silicone smeared on tiles, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Common questions in Thistleton
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Thistleton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you come to Thistleton?
We do. We send a technician to Thistleton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Thistleton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Common problems we fix in Thistleton
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Common reasons people in Thistleton contact us include:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black spots in the silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long it needs to cure
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Thistleton, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use the extractor fan
- Let steam out after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
