Your questions about bath resealing in Newhaven
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Newhaven. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
About our bath resealing in Newhaven
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Typical jobs include sealant that’s split or lifting and black mould in the sealant, in kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Hidden water damage
- A flexing bath
- Hollow or loose tiles
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for around two hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Most clients in Newhaven get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Open a window after bathing
- Dry the seal after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Do you need bath resealing in Newhaven?
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A messy previous reseal
- Unsealed corners
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Water getting behind the bath or tray

Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
