About our bath resealing in Etchingwood

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. If you’re dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and a messy previous reseal, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Etchingwood

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • An untidy old seal
  • Stained silicone

FAQs for Etchingwood

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you cover Etchingwood?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Etchingwood and the rest of East Sussex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What does bath resealing cost?

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

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
