Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Coates, West Sussex
Our technicians come to Coates for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- Black mould in the sealant
Bath resealing in Coates, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and the jobs we see most are stained silicone and black mould in the sealant.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Coates as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What else we do in Coates
What we’re called out for in Coates
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
- Unsealed corners
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
Coates questions
How long before I can shower?
Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Are there extra charges for Coates?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Coates. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
