- Unsealed corners
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Let steam out after showers
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep bottles off the joints
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
About our bath resealing in Ditchling Common
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths, and people most often call us about gaps by the taps and damp near the bath.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

FAQs for Ditchling Common
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on

How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Should I try a DIY kit 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
