About our bath resealing in Hollingbury
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you’re dealing with black spots in the silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Hollingbury and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices and what affects them
You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Questions from Hollingbury
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the curing time from us, generally around a day.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Hollingbury and the rest of Brighton and Hove. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Common problems we fix in Hollingbury
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Unsealed corners
- Gaps in the seal
- Stained silicone
- A messy previous reseal

Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
