Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Fordwich, Kent

Bath resealing in Fordwich, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include missing sealant behind the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant, across baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Fordwich and across Kent.

How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours, including clearing up.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- 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
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CT2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Questions from Fordwich
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
How much does bath resealing cost in Fordwich?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Open a window after bathing
- Dry the seal after bathing
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Why it’s worth resealing in Fordwich
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
