Buxted: your questions answered

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How long does resealing take?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Are there extra charges for Buxted?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us, typically around a day.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

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

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Buxted

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

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Buxted

Letting agents often send us photos 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.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
