Trusted bath resealing in Burstow

Bath resealing in Burstow, done in place

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and common reasons people contact us are black mould in the sealant and sealant that’s split or lifting.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. Baths are filled 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

Your questions about bath resealing in Burstow

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Common problems we fix in Burstow

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Common reasons people in Burstow contact us are:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.

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