Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Maxton, Kent

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Bath resealing in Maxton, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re frequently asked to fix an untidy old seal and black mould in the sealant, in wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hidden water damage
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
FAQs for Maxton
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep the joints dry
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What affects the price in Maxton
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Any details about the material
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
