Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Ditchling, West Sussex

- A messy previous reseal
- Stained silicone
- Damp near the bath
What bath resealing costs
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Do you need bath resealing in Ditchling?
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Unsealed corners
- A messy previous reseal
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included
Ditchling questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you come to Ditchling?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ditchling for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
