Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Shipley, West Sussex
We travel to Shipley for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps by the taps
- A messy previous reseal
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Store bottles on a shelf
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

FAQs for Shipley
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
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 there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We will give you the curing time, generally around a day.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.

Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What bath resealing costs
There is no area surcharge for Shipley. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
