About our bath resealing in Magham Down

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and an untidy old seal, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Materials we work on in Magham Down

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

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Common questions in Magham Down

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you work in Magham Down?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Magham Down from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow around two hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job.

Work for landlords and builders

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 is easier on the people living there.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Resealing in Magham Down: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
