Need bath resealing in Charlton?

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Bath resealing in Charlton without replacing anything

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are water getting behind the bath or tray and old sealant that looks dirty.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

Signs you need bath resealing in Charlton

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps in the seal

Comparing quotes

  • How soon you can use it again
  • If travel is included in the price

  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Hidden water damage

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

Materials we work on in Charlton

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

FAQs for Charlton

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What areas do you cover?

All of West Sussex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
