What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

FAQs for High Hurstwood

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including High Hurstwood and the rest of East Sussex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Resealing in High Hurstwood: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our prices page.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What bath resealing costs

We charge the same across the UK, including High Hurstwood. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Use the extractor fan

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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