Bath resealing for Balcombe homes

About our bath resealing in Balcombe

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are water getting behind the bath or tray and a messy previous reseal.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Balcombe and across West Sussex.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

FAQs for Balcombe

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Balcombe?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time, usually around a day.

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  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, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlord and trade work in Balcombe

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Balcombe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

When to call us in Balcombe

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

Look out for these signs:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What preparation is included
