Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Newington, Kent
Bath resealing for Newington, without a refit. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, then we come to you.
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Mould you can’t clean out
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Air the room after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Bath resealing in Newington without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and gaps in the seal, in baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Newington and across Kent.

Questions from Newington
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Do you come to Newington?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Newington. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Newington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Common problems we fix in Newington
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps by the taps
- Mould you cannot clean out
- An untidy old seal
Before booking anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
- How changes to the job are handled
