Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Monk's Gate, West Sussex
Bath resealing across Monk's Gate and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Unsealed corners
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Bath resealing in Monk's Gate, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Monk's Gate and across West Sussex.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Your questions about bath resealing in Monk's Gate
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you work in Monk's Gate?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Monk's Gate from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What areas do you cover?
All of West Sussex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Monk's Gate as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
