DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Bath resealing at your home in Chailey

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s unsealed corners and damp near the bath, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Landlord and trade work in Chailey

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Resealing in Chailey: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Chailey clients choose us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Mould you cannot clean out

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Chailey

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

Do you work in Chailey?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Chailey and the rest of East Sussex. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How long does a reseal take?

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