Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Preston, Brighton and Hove
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Preston, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Gaps in the seal
- Stained silicone
How we handle bath resealing in Preston
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can generally put it right.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Preston is one of 30 towns and villages in Brighton and Hove we cover. We work right across the region, from Preston to London (about 45 miles away).
Postcode districts we cover here: BN1, BN3 and BN88. Whether you live on Home Road, Bates Road and Loder Road or anywhere nearby, we can come to you.

Signs you need bath resealing in Preston
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps by the taps
- Mould you cannot clean out
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Dry the seal after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
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.
Preston questions
Do you cover the entire of Brighton and Hove?
The entire UK, including all of Brighton and Hove. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
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.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Preston.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
What affects the price in Preston
There’s no area surcharge for Preston. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Why it’s worth resealing in Preston
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
