Bath Resealing for Robertsbridge homes
We travel to Robertsbridge for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Stained silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Mould you can’t clean out
How we handle bath resealing in Robertsbridge
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Our repair technicians work on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep the joints dry
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Air the room after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Robertsbridge
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Questions from Robertsbridge
Do you cover Robertsbridge?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Robertsbridge and the rest of East Sussex. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across East Sussex.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
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.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 normally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What affects the price in Robertsbridge
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
