What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  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

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

For landlords and businesses

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

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

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

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Run 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, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What we are called out for in Merston

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Unsealed corners

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
