Bath resealing for Brede homes

How we handle bath resealing in Brede

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We’re frequently asked to fix discoloured, yellow sealant and mould you can’t clean out, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Landlord and trade work in Brede

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

What we’re called out for in Brede

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Unsealed corners
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Brede

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across East Sussex.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
