Bath resealing in Heath Common

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Bath resealing in Heath Common without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s black mould in the sealant and missing sealant behind the taps, we can typically put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Heath Common questions

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you work in Heath Common?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Heath Common for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you cover the entire of West Sussex?

We cover the entire UK, including Heath Common and the rest of West Sussex. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Landlord and trade work in Heath Common

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

For anyone letting property in or around Heath Common, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Common problems we fix in Heath Common

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Leaks at the edges
  • An untidy old seal
  • Mould you can’t clean out

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Heath Common. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Heath Common. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
