Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Barcombe Cross, East Sussex
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Barcombe Cross, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black spots in the silicone
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
About our bath resealing in Barcombe Cross
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We are often asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and water getting behind the bath or tray, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common questions in Barcombe Cross
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you work in Barcombe Cross?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Barcombe Cross and the rest of East Sussex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Why it’s worth resealing in Barcombe Cross
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What affects the price in Barcombe Cross
We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Barcombe Cross
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
