Bath resealing in Ringmer, done in place

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We are frequently asked to fix stained silicone and water getting behind the bath or tray, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

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

What bath resealing costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Your questions about bath resealing in Ringmer

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BN8 postcode.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Resealing in Ringmer: why it matters

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before you book

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Signs you need bath resealing in Ringmer

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Stained silicone

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How changes to the job are handled
