Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Mayfield, East Sussex
Bath resealing in and around Mayfield: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Gaps in the seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Old sealant that looks dirty
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed 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, then guarantee it for a year.
How we handle bath resealing in Mayfield
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include missing sealant behind the taps and silicone coming away from the tiles, on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mayfield as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
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 can work around your bookings.
What bath resealing costs
There is no area surcharge for Mayfield. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

FAQs for Mayfield
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Mayfield included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
