- Damp near the bath
- Black mould in the sealant
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
About our bath resealing in Littleworth
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include water getting behind the bath or tray and black spots in the silicone, in wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Littleworth and across West Sussex.

Landlord and trade work in Littleworth
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What we’re called out for in Littleworth
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps by the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Advice
FAQs for Littleworth
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
