About our bath resealing in Fairlight

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re often asked to fix leaks at the edges and discoloured, yellow sealant, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What affects the price in Fairlight

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Signs you need bath resealing in Fairlight

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Damp near the bath

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What preparation is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Fairlight

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

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Open a window after bathing

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Resealing in Fairlight: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Everything repaired in place

Different materials, different repairs

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, for the same reason.

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. The job normally takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Common questions in Fairlight

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Do you work in Fairlight?

We do. We send a technician to Fairlight for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What happens next?

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

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Landlord and trade work in Fairlight

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
