Bath resealing near Flackley Ash

Bath resealing in Flackley Ash, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with gaps by the taps and mould you can’t clean out, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Flackley Ash and across East Sussex.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Signs you need bath resealing in Flackley Ash

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Choosing a repair company

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Flackley Ash. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place

Take a look at our full price list.

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Flackley Ash questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across East Sussex.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Will the price change on the day?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
