Bath resealing in Herstmonceux, done in place
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We’re often asked to fix black spots in the silicone and an untidy old seal, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

Resealing in Herstmonceux: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Why Herstmonceux customers choose us
- No need to remove anything
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- No extra charge for your area
- We leave the room as we found it

Your questions about bath resealing in Herstmonceux
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Air the room after use
- Keep the joints dry
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
What we are called out for in Herstmonceux
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An untidy old seal
- Damp near the bath
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Sealant that is split or lifting
Before you book anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A flexing bath
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Hidden water damage
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures

Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Herstmonceux, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
