When to call us in Birchgrove

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Stained silicone

FAQs for Birchgrove

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

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 there a guarantee?

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

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

How long will it take?

Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Do you come to Birchgrove?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Birchgrove. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

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

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Birchgrove

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Birchgrove, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice

Why it’s worth resealing in Birchgrove

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep the joints dry

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
