Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Firle

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Firle as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Prices and what affects them

We do not charge extra for travel to Firle. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Honest limits

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

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Do you need bath resealing in Firle?

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Questions to ask before booking

  • How to look after the finish
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price covers travel
