Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Yapton, West Sussex
Our repair technicians come to Yapton for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps in the seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

How much does bath resealing cost in Yapton?
We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
If you are in Yapton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Resealing in Yapton: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Yapton

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Hidden water damage
- Movement in the bath or tray
