Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Thurcroft, Rotherham
We travel to Thurcroft for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Leaks at the edges
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Bath resealing in Thurcroft without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include a messy previous reseal and black mould in the sealant, in basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Thurcroft, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thurcroft as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
