Bath Resealing for Colgate homes
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Colgate, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- An untidy old seal
- Black spots in the silicone
Bath resealing in Colgate without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with gaps in the seal and a messy previous reseal, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
Landlord and trade work in Colgate
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Colgate use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Why it’s worth resealing in Colgate
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Colgate questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you come to Colgate?
We do. Technicians travel to Colgate from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you cover the entire of West Sussex?
We cover the whole UK, including Colgate and the rest of West Sussex. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
