Bath resealing in Founthill without replacing anything
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and gaps in the seal, in baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Founthill and across East Sussex.

FAQs for Founthill
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Related advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Founthill
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
