Bath Resealing for Balcombe Lane homes

About our bath resealing in Balcombe Lane
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are discoloured, yellow sealant and black mould in the sealant.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Balcombe Lane
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Landlord and trade work in Balcombe Lane
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Open a window after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What we are called out for in Balcombe Lane
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Leaks at the edges
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black spots in the silicone
Comparing quotes
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Balcombe Lane questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Balcombe Lane?
Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your RH17 postcode.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
