Bath resealing in Abingworth

Questions from Abingworth

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you cover the entire of West Sussex?

All of West Sussex, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Bath resealing in Abingworth, done in place

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are leaks at the edges and silicone coming away from the tiles.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, 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.

Signs you need bath resealing in Abingworth

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Damp near the bath
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
