Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Waterbeach, West Sussex
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Waterbeach, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.

How we handle bath resealing in Waterbeach
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and people most often call us about black spots in the silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Why it’s worth resealing in Waterbeach
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Waterbeach
- No need to remove anything
- No extra charge for your area
- One visit for most repairs
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Waterbeach
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across West Sussex.
Do you work in Waterbeach?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Waterbeach and the rest of West Sussex. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We will give you the curing time, typically around a day.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Air the room after use
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Waterbeach
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we’re called out for in Waterbeach
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps by the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Before you book anyone
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the room is protected while they work
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
