Bath resealing in East Dean

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Dean as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Bath resealing in East Dean without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Typical jobs include black mould in the sealant and old sealant that looks dirty, across baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What affects the price in East Dean

There is no charge for travel to East Dean. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps by the taps

Questions to ask before booking

FAQs for East Dean

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across West Sussex.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in East Dean?

Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PO18 postcode.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Why it’s worth resealing in East Dean

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our pricing.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
