Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Hastings, Somerset
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Hastings, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Stained silicone
- Gaps in the seal
- Black mould in the sealant
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Air the room after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

FAQs for Hastings
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Are there extra charges for Hastings?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Do you cover Hastings?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hastings for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Signs you need bath resealing in Hastings
