Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Wadenhoe, Northamptonshire
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Wadenhoe, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Black mould in the sealant
- A messy previous reseal
- Stained silicone
Prices and what affects them
There is no area surcharge for Wadenhoe. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Bath resealing in Wadenhoe, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s sealant that’s split or lifting and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For anyone letting property in or around Wadenhoe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Most customers in Wadenhoe get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
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. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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.

Common problems we fix in Wadenhoe
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Stained silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Unsealed corners
- Black spots in the silicone

Wadenhoe questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you cover Wadenhoe?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Wadenhoe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
