FAQs for Ashburnham

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

How we handle bath resealing in Ashburnham

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for mould you can’t clean out and an untidy old seal, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

What we’re called out for in Ashburnham

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Mould you can’t clean out

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

How it works

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.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Why it’s worth resealing in Ashburnham

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
