Bath resealing in East Hoathly

Common questions in East Hoathly

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in East Hoathly.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How much does bath resealing cost in East Hoathly?

We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your BN8 postcode.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Bath resealing at your home in East Hoathly

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about leaks at the edges and silicone smeared on tiles.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for East Hoathly. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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

What we work on

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

What we are called out for in East Hoathly

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Gaps by the taps

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

What affects the price in East Hoathly

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BN8 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
