Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in West Kingsdown, Kent
Bath resealing in West Kingsdown without the cost of replacing. Send us pictures for a fixed price, then we come to you.
- Gaps in the seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
How we handle bath resealing in West Kingsdown
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you are dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and black spots in the silicone, we can help.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How we price bath resealing
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TN15 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in West Kingsdown
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Stained silicone
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps in the seal
- Unsealed corners

Resealing in West Kingsdown: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for West Kingsdown. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Common questions in West Kingsdown
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
