Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Bishopstone, Kent
We travel to Bishopstone for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
- Leaks at the edges
Signs you need bath resealing in Bishopstone
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A messy previous reseal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

Bath resealing in Bishopstone, done in place
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our technicians work on wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about silicone coming away from the tiles and old sealant that looks dirty.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bishopstone and across Kent.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

FAQs for Bishopstone
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Bishopstone included. There is no extra charge for travel.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

- Hollow or loose tiles
