Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Coleman's Hatch, East Sussex
Bath resealing in Coleman's Hatch without the cost of replacing. Send us photos for a fixed price, then we come to you.

Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. In an older home in a village like Coleman's Hatch, replacing a bath or shower can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How we handle bath resealing in Coleman's Hatch
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you have black spots in the silicone and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help, on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures alike.
Rural addresses like Coleman's Hatch just need a little planning, and we’ll plan the visit around it.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep bottles off the joints
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare. For a rural address like Coleman's Hatch, we plan the journey in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring everything needed for the bath resealing, so there’s no second trip.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes cost nothing and no obligation.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you need bath resealing in Coleman's Hatch?
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Unsealed corners
- Black mould in the sealant
- An untidy old seal
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
Rented homes near East Grinstead station (about 4.6 miles north-west) change hands frequently, and repairing baths and showers between tenants is quicker than replacing them.
Questions to ask before booking
