Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Albourne Street, West Sussex
Bath resealing in and around Albourne Street: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep the joints dry
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
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.

Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Questions from Albourne Street
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When to call us in Albourne Street
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

- An untidy old seal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
