Bath resealing near Horney Common

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.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Bath resealing in Horney Common without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Questions from Horney Common

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

Materials we repair

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

Resealing in Horney Common: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Landlord and trade work in Horney Common

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Horney Common as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What affects the price in Horney Common

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Let steam out after showers

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours. The room is left tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
