Bath resealing at your home in Lewes
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. Typical jobs include gaps in the seal and gaps by the taps, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep the joints dry
- Keep bottles off the joints
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Resealing in Lewes: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Work done at your home or business

Your questions about bath resealing in Lewes
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How much does bath resealing cost in Lewes?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BN7 postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What else we do in Lewes
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
