About our bath resealing in East Grinstead

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. We’re frequently asked to fix sealant that’s split or lifting and old sealant that looks dirty, in baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

East Grinstead: your questions answered

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your RH19 postcode.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including East Grinstead and the rest of West Sussex. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What we are called out for in East Grinstead

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Stained silicone
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • An untidy old seal

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Resealing in East Grinstead: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in East Grinstead

We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
