Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Upper Biggin, Derbyshire
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Upper Biggin, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Missing sealant behind the taps
How we handle bath resealing in Upper Biggin
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. Typical jobs include old sealant that looks dirty and an untidy old seal, on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Questions from Upper Biggin
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Do you cover Upper Biggin?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Upper Biggin. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Upper Biggin.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Air the room after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Resealing in Upper Biggin: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Get a quote
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
