Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Garston, Hertfordshire

- A messy previous reseal
Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Bath resealing in Garston, done in place
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are a messy previous reseal and gaps in the seal.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What bath resealing costs
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
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 quote, not an estimate.

Common questions in Garston
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
How much does bath resealing cost in Garston?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you come to Garston?
We do. We send a technician to Garston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What we are called out for in Garston
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Black spots in the silicone
- A messy previous reseal
- Unsealed corners
- Damp near the bath
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Let steam out after showers
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
