About our bath resealing in Cousley Wood
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with leaks at the edges and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
In a village like Cousley Wood, walls and floors in older homes are rarely perfectly straight, so a careful reseal matters even more.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. For a rural home like those around Cousley Wood, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Cousley Wood. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why Cousley Wood clients choose us

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cousley Wood use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs 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.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed, with no obligation. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep bottles off the joints
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes about two hours for a bath in most cases.
