Bath resealing near Chapel Row

Bath resealing in Chapel Row without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

Why it’s worth resealing in Chapel Row

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place

See our prices page.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common questions in Chapel Row

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Which areas do you work in?

All of East Sussex, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How much does bath resealing cost in Chapel Row?

Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

What affects the price in Chapel Row

We charge the same across the UK, including Chapel Row. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Do you need bath resealing in Chapel Row?

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Stained silicone

Comparing quotes

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes around two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
