How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Use the extractor fan

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

If you manage property in Emsworth, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Questions from Emsworth

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Resealing in Emsworth: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. 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

  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our prices page.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price bath resealing

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Emsworth, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
