Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in West Dean, West Sussex
Our repair technicians come to West Dean for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Gaps by the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- A messy previous reseal
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Replacement in West Dean means trades, travel and waste removal, while bath resealing is one trip.
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- One visit for most repairs
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Bath resealing in West Dean without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include a messy previous reseal and mould you can’t clean out, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
In older homes in a village like West Dean, walls and floors can move a little, and that splits sealant. We fill the bath before sealing so the joint lasts.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What else we do in West Dean
What affects the price in West Dean
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Open a window after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Store bottles on a shelf
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Hidden water damage
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
What we’re called out for in West Dean
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Look out for these signs:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black mould in the sealant
- Old sealant that looks dirty
If you manage a building such as West Dean CofE Primary School, we repair changing rooms and washrooms as well as work in homes.

- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
