How we handle bath resealing in Birling Gap
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include gaps in the seal and black spots in the silicone, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What bath resealing costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BN20 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
What else we do in Birling Gap
Birling Gap: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Birling Gap. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you come to Birling Gap?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Birling Gap. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
