Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Vigo Village, Kent
Local bath resealing for Vigo Village: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Sealant that is split or lifting

- Black spots in the silicone
How we price bath resealing
We charge the same across the UK, including Vigo Village. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally 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.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Bath resealing at your home in Vigo Village
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for missing sealant behind the taps and silicone coming away from the tiles, across baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hidden water damage
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Questions from Vigo Village
Is the work guaranteed?

Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What areas do you cover?

Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
