Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you’re in Hickstead and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Bath resealing in Hickstead, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We are often asked to fix silicone smeared on tiles and sealant that’s split or lifting, across shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hickstead as everywhere else we work.

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Hickstead: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we are called out for in Hickstead
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Unsealed corners
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

- What protection goes down before work starts
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
