About our bath resealing in Jury's Gap

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you have stained silicone and an untidy old seal, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

In older homes in a village like Jury's Gap, walls and floors can move a little, and that splits sealant. We fill the bath before sealing so the joint lasts.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Replacement in Jury's Gap means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Everything repaired in place

See our Prices page.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Jury's Gap

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow around two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes. For a rural address like Jury's Gap, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the bath resealing, so there’s no second trip.

  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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

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

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

FAQs for Jury's Gap

Will you travel to Jury's Gap?

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

I let a flat near Rye station. Can you help between tenants?

Yes. We reseal baths and showers between tenancies for landlords and letting agents, and we can quote for several properties together.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we tidy up before we leave.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Hidden water damage

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