Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Capel, Kent
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Capel, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Black spots in the silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
What bath resealing costs
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Bath resealing at your home in Capel
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about damp near the bath and old sealant that looks dirty.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Signs you need bath resealing in Capel
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

What else we do in Capel
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
