Bath resealing near Heathfield

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Bath resealing in Heathfield without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Resealing in Heathfield: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When to call us in Heathfield

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

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps in the seal
  • An untidy old seal
  • Black mould in the sealant

Questions to ask before you book

FAQs for Heathfield

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
