Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Houghton, West Sussex
We travel to Houghton for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Unsealed corners
- Black spots in the silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
How we price bath resealing
There is no charge for travel to Houghton. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- How much damage there is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How we handle bath resealing in Houghton
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s unsealed corners and mould you can’t clean out, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Air the room after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Give the seal a regular clean
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
For anyone letting property in or around Houghton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Houghton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before booking
- One visit for most repairs
- Same prices wherever you are
- Work done at your home or business

Common questions in Houghton
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Houghton and the rest of West Sussex. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you cover Houghton?
We do. We send a technician to Houghton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Are there extra charges for Houghton?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
