Questions from Cripp's Corner
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Cripp's Corner included. Travel is included in the price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Bath resealing in Cripp's Corner, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you are dealing with leaks at the edges and gaps in the seal, we can normally put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Cripp's Corner and across East Sussex.

What bath resealing costs
We don’t charge extra for travel to Cripp's Corner. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Do you need bath resealing in Cripp's Corner?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Look out for any of the following:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black spots in the silicone
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- A messy previous reseal

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use

- Store bottles on a shelf
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
