Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Ashurst, Kent
Bath resealing in Ashurst without the cost of replacing. Send us photos for a fixed price, then book a visit.
- Stained silicone
- Gaps in the seal
- Gaps by the taps
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
About our bath resealing in Ashurst
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you are dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access

Why it’s worth resealing in Ashurst
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Ashurst?
We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Ashurst. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Let steam out after showers
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
