Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Fair Cross, West Berkshire
Bath resealing in and around Fair Cross: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Unsealed corners
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Gaps in the seal
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
How we handle bath resealing in Fair Cross
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. We’re often asked to fix gaps by the taps and a messy previous reseal, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we price bath resealing
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Fair Cross
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
Common problems we fix in Fair Cross
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Leaks at the edges
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- An untidy old seal

- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Questions from Fair Cross
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are there extra charges for Fair Cross?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
