DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we handle bath resealing in Heathfield

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Typical jobs include silicone smeared on tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.

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

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Heathfield questions

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you cover the entire of East Sussex?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Why it’s worth resealing in Heathfield

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common problems we fix in Heathfield

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
