Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Challock, Kent
Bath resealing in and around Challock: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- An untidy old seal
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Bath resealing in Challock without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone smeared on tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
FAQs for Challock
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
Everywhere in the UK, Challock included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Challock?
We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your TN25 postcode.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
