Bath resealing near Alfriston

Bath resealing in Alfriston without replacing anything

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We’re frequently asked to fix damp near the bath and silicone coming away from the tiles, in wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

Alfriston: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Do you cover Alfriston?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Alfriston and the rest of East Sussex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Alfriston.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What we are called out for in Alfriston

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Mould you cannot clean out

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How to care for the finish
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

10 questions to ask before you book

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’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours. The room is left tidy.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How we price bath resealing

We do not charge extra for travel to Alfriston. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
