How we handle bath resealing in Milton Street

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone smeared on tiles, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, 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.

Questions from Milton Street

Do you cover the entire of East Sussex?

All of East Sussex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Milton Street?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your BN26 postcode.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Milton Street

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Look out for any of the following:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 usually the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
