Bath resealing in Bramber, done in place

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. Whether it’s stained silicone and silicone smeared on tiles, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Bramber

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Resealing in Bramber: why it matters

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bramber. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with 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. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Bramber questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How long does a reseal take?

Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Do you cover the whole of West Sussex?

We cover the whole UK, including Bramber and the rest of West Sussex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
