Bath resealing in Pyecombe, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and gaps in the seal, in kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Pyecombe and across West Sussex.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Pyecombe, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What affects the price in Pyecombe

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Pyecombe, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Open a window after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
