Bath resealing in Highleigh

How we handle bath resealing in Highleigh

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that’s split or lifting and gaps by the taps.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Highleigh questions

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How long will it take?

Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Highleigh and the rest of West Sussex. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Will it make a mess?

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

How much does bath resealing cost in Highleigh?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Use the extractor fan

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a couple of hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

Prices and what affects them

There’s no charge for travel to Highleigh. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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

Resealing in Highleigh: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • A fixed quote before booking

Take a look at our prices page.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Highleigh

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Damp near the bath
  • Stained silicone
  • An untidy old seal

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
