Bath resealing for Chiltington homes

What bath resealing costs

We don’t charge extra for travel to Chiltington. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually 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.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

About our bath resealing in Chiltington

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and black spots in the silicone, we can normally put it right, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Chiltington: your questions answered

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you work in Chiltington?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Chiltington and the rest of East Sussex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What happens next?

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

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

When to call us in Chiltington

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Comparing quotes

  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
