Book bath resealing in Kent Street

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

About our bath resealing in Kent Street

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths, and common reasons people contact us are an untidy old seal and unsealed corners.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Related advice

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Kent Street

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kent Street as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Kent Street questions

How long does a reseal take?

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

Is my repair covered?

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

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us, typically around a day.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Kent Street. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Resealing in Kent Street: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Kent Street clients choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything

See our pricing.

What we are called out for in Kent Street

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Stained silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How to care for the finish
  • How your room will be protected
