Bath resealing in Carlton Hill without replacing anything

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and black spots in the silicone, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

Advice

Common questions in Carlton Hill

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Brighton and Hove.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

How much does bath resealing cost in Carlton Hill?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Carlton Hill is covered. Prices do not change with location.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use
  • Use the extractor fan

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our prices page.

For landlords and businesses

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

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

When to call us in Carlton Hill

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • An untidy old seal

Before booking anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site
