Bath resealing in Forest Row, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about silicone smeared on tiles and sealant that’s split or lifting.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Forest Row and across East Sussex.

Your questions about bath resealing in Forest Row
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you cover the whole of East Sussex?
Everywhere in the UK, Forest Row included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Landlord and trade work in Forest Row
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Forest Row. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

- A flexing bath
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Open a window after bathing
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
